The program features Mint Condition and Tony! Toni! Toné! Mint Condition generated some buzz, but it wasn’t until Washington D.C.’s WHUR-FM (Howard University’s famed college radio station) broke the follow-up ballad, 1991’s “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” that the band experienced their first runaway smash. After that, two other albums — “From the Mint Factory” and “Definition of a Band” — plus a chain of hit singles followed. Tony! Toni! Toné! crashed out of their Oakland neighborhood in 1988 with their Gold debut album “Who?” That spawned the hit “Little Walter.” In 1990, to both critical and popular acclaim, their second album, “The Revival,” included four number one Billboard hits. Tickets: $75 VIP Seat, $65, $60, $50
