Moved from the 29th Street Ballroom to the Home of the Blues, Bilal’s local fly-by now dwells in hallowed territory. Antone’s sits just blocks from where once stood Catfish Station, a crucible of East Sixth soul hosting the likes of Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, and Matthew McConaughey. Here, from the brotherly love locus that gave the world Teddy Pendergrass, David Ruffin, and Howard Tate, Philly polymath Bilal Oliver brandishes a must-see roots reinvention. A Grammy winner in 2016 alongside Kendrick Lamar and Thundercat for “These Walls,” the singer reverberates from his twofer of two years ago: concert doc Bilal: Live at Glasshaus and sixth LP Adjust Brightness, a glitch-hop masterwork of futuristic R&B. – Raoul Hernandez
