Seattle presents:Toni Hill , August. 6th

Seattle Presents, Toni Hill
August 6
12 - 1:30 p.m.
City Hall, 600 Fourth Avenue
www.seattle.gov/seattlepresents

The seductive and soulful R&B songstress Toni Hill will perform music from her new album "Only Love" on 12 - 1:30 p.m. August 6 at City Hall plaza, joined by an eight-piece band featuring special guest DJ B-Girl. Hill's music will move your body and may even stir a summer romance as she vibes out to groove-worthy hip-hop beats.

The Seattle Presents concert series is presented year-round by Seattle's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs at City Hall, 600 Fourth Ave.

In case of inclement weather, the performance will move inside the City Hall lobby and conclude at 1 p.m. For rain-out updates check the Seattle Presents Web site at www.seattle.gov/seattlepresents or call (206) 684-7171.

Miss Hill first threw herself into the music business in 1999, soon opening for groups like The Wu-Tang Clan, Gil Scott-Heron, and The Roots with her neo soul flavor. An active presence in the Pacific Northwest hip-hop scene for years as a member of the legendary Northwest crew Oldominion and the revered female duo Sirens Echo, the release of Toni Hill's latest album this spring marks her debut as an R&B solo artist. Her new sound blends jazz and heartfelt lyrics with a classic, slow R&B style, while sharing the stage with DJ B-Girl and Syndel will encourage her to dig back to her roots of empowering rap and hard-hitting hip-hop.

Toni Hill's music focuses heavily on love in all its different forms, and while her smooth vocal sound has won her followings in New York and Atlanta, she has kept the Northwest close to her heart, continuing to engage in charity work with Seattle organizations Power of Hope, The Seattle Debate Foundation, and Gateways for Incarcerated Youth.


The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs promotes the value of arts and culture in communities throughout Seattle. The 16-member Seattle Arts Commission, citizen volunteers appointed by the mayor and City Council, supports the city agency.
