Erykah Badu at the Mann Center
Philadelphia
The indefinable Grammy-winning queen of neo-soul, Eryka Badu rarely sits still, branching out into acting, activism, and record-label ownership in recent years. Now, she’s hitting the road for her most extensive string of live dates in years. Provocatively titled the Unfollow Me Tour, it features hip-hop icon Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def). See her in Philly for show number 16. Visit manncenter.org.
