ATL Collective relives Erykah Badu’s ‘Baduizm’ at Venkman’s
Khari Cabral Simmons, Ruby Velle, and more pay homage to a neo-soul classic
It’s been 20 years since Erykah Badu blessed the world with her neo-soul masterpiece, Baduizm. The ATL collective and Khari Cabral Simmons have assembled a lineup to match the intense beauty of Badu’s solo debut. Maleke O’Ney, Ingrid Sibley, Jill Rock Jones, Zema Lovefire, Ruby Velle, and Chanda Leigh will bring their considerable talents to hits such as “On & On,” “Next Lifetime,” and “Otherside of the Game.” If the political events of the day get you confused and twisted up, a night spent basking in the warm bass and loving enlightened vibes of Baduizm are just you need.
$20-$40. 9:30 p.m. Fri., Jan. 20. Venkmans, 740 Ralph McGill Blvd N.E. 470-225-6162. www.venkmans.com.
