If you\u2019ve been lucky enough to be in Toshi\u2019s presence, you know you can\u2019t walk away from her without feeling better about yourself as a human being. She aims for nothing less.\u201D" . "Toshi has been the recipient of a NYFA award for Music Composition, The Black Lily Music and Film Festival Award for Outstanding Performance. She is a National Women\u2019s History Month Honoree, and is the 2010 recipient of OutMusic\u2019s Heritage Award." . "Reagon, Toshi"@en . "Toshi Reagon (born in Atlanta in 1964) is an American folk and blues musician. She is the daughter of Freedom Singers co-founders Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock, with whom she has sometimes collaborated on musical projects and of Cordell Hull Reagon, a leader of the civil rights movement in Albany, member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and co-founder of The Freedom Singers."@en . "Toshi Reagon has been described as \u201Ca talented, versatile singer, songwriter and musician with a profound ear for sonic Americana\u2014from folk to funk, from blues to rock\u201D by critic/blogger Eva Yaa Asantewaa (InfiniteBody). \u201CShe masters each of these genres with vocal strategies that easily spiral and swoop from the expressively sinuous to the hard-charging, a combination of warmth and mischief.\u201D" . "While her expansive career has landed her comfortably in residence at Carnegie Hall, the Paris Opera House and Madison Square Garden, you can just as easily find Toshi turning out a music festival, intimate venue or local club. Toshi finds home on any musical stage. Toshi has had the pleasure of working with Lenny Kravitz, Lizz Wright, Ani DiFranco, Carl Hancock Rux, Nona Hendryx, Pete Seeger, Chocolate Genius and many other amazing artists, including her favorite collaborator, her mom, Bernice Johnson Reagon." .
