Tune in to The ESPYS on Wednesday, July 13 on ESPN at 9pm EST to see soul man Raphael Saadiq perform throughout the night as the house band during the annual sports award event. Celebrating the year in sports, The ESPYS gather sports and entertainment celebrities to recognize the year's greatest achievements, from special moments to great performers. Coming off his national tour, Saadiq will perform select hits from his studio release Stone Rollin'  from "Heart Attack" to "Movin' On Down the Line," which celebrate the sounds of 60's and 70's soul with a futuristic twist.

Known for defying the confines of working within one genre, Saadiq has carried the torch for old school R&B and in the process has established his place as one of music's most highly regarded recording artists and producers.  Stone Rollin', which debuted as #1 on the R&B album chart, was met with acclaim from critics across the board, with Rolling Stone, NPR Music and Billboard singing its praises. In addition to hits from his acclaimed record, Saadiq will also play songs from previous albums, such as "Love That Girl," "Big Easy" and "Sure Hope You Mean It."
