Toshi Reagon & BIGLovely Perform at Bergen, 11/21

Toshi Reagon and her band BIGLovely will present one of their genre-bending performances at Bergen Community College on Friday, November 21, 2008 at 7:30 p.m., in the Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre, 400 Paramus Road, Paramus. Tickets are $24 for general admission and $22 for students and seniors (65+).
Reagon, known for her thought-provoking and engaging lyrics, has a talent for blending classic R&B styles with old school rock. She has been compared to renowned artists like Stevie Wonder, Prince and Led Zepplin. Her band members include Judith Casselberry, of the famed duo Casselberry-Dupre. Reagon's mother, Bernice Johnson Reagon, is a musicologist and founder and former director of Sweet Honey in the Rock. The New Yorker said, "Her live shows shower retro funk, urban blues, and folk on the audience with evangelical fervor. To hear her is to believe."

The performance is part of Bergen Community College's "This & That from Here & There" Performing Arts Series. For ticket information or for a full schedule of events, please call Bergen's Office of Community and Cultural Affairs at 201-447-7428 or visit them on the Web at www.bergen.edu/cca
