Road Trip: Anita Baker Takes Her 'Sweet Love' On Tour

R&B veteran Anita Baker, 50, is hitting the road this summer.

The eight-time Grammy winner will criss-cross the U.S. for her first major tour outing in nearly a decade.

Baker, best known for hits like 'I Apologize,' 'Sweet Love,' and 'Giving You the Best That I Got,' will kick off her national tour on June 13 in Vienna, Va. at Wolf Trap's Filene Center.

Her tour will end on Sept. 26 in Los Angeles at the famed Greek Theater. The recently divorced mother of two took time off from the music industry in the mid-1990's to focus on her family life.

In 2004, she returned with her first full-length studio album called 'My Everything' (Blue Note).

Since then, the Detroit-bred singer has begun performing spot dates, with recent headlining turns at both the Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival and the St. Lucia Jazz Festival.
