Digable Planets burst onto the music scene in 1993 with their Grammy-winning single, “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat).” Made up of Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, Craig “Doodlebug” Irving, and Mary Ann “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, the pioneering trio carved out a uniquely appealing style of jazz-informed hip hop. Their follow up Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time And Space), created what Pitchfork praised as “a world within a world, complete with its own language and monuments.” Melding jazz samples, and complex rhymes, theirs was a rich and vibrant artistic statement as well as a huge commercial success. 1994's Blowout Comb has gone on to age beautifully, influencing future generations of hip hop heads, young jazz musicians, and Afrofuturists. In celebration, Digable Planets take their full five-piece band on the road for the Blowout Comb 30th Anniversary Tour, now touching North American cities from coast to coast. Opening DJ set by Mr. Manuvers.
