(August 5, 2026) R&B favorite Case will celebrate a major career milestone this weekend, marking 30 years in music with a pair of special anniversary performances at Yoshi’s Oakland on Sunday, August 9, 2026. The shows, set for 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (CLICK HERE FOR TICKET INFO), will give fans an intimate setting to revisit the songs that have made Case one of the genre’s most reliable hitmakers and enduring romantic voices.
Back in the mid-1990s, Case arrived as part of a strong wave of male R&B artists, quickly establishing himself with a smooth, expressive tenor and a style that balanced contemporary edge with classic soul appeal. Over the years, he has built a catalog that has remained in rotation for longtime fans, led by signature songs such as “Touch Me, Tease Me,” “Happily Ever After,” “Faded Pictures,” and “Missing You.” Those songs helped make him a consistent presence on urban radio and a familiar voice on the soundtrack of many listeners’ lives.
The Yoshi’s concerts are being promoted as a celebration not only of Case’s music, but also of the connection he has maintained with audiences over three decades. In the press materials for the event, Case expressed gratitude for the fans who have supported him through the years: “Thirty years is something I never take for granted, I’m grateful to every fan who has been part of this journey, and I’m looking forward to celebrating these songs and the memories we’ve created together.”
With a live band behind him and a room full of fans who know the words, the evening promises to be less a nostalgia show than a celebration of a career that continues to resonate. For fans of grown-folks R&B, it should be a fitting way to honor an artist who has quietly but firmly held his place in the modern soul conversation for 30 years.
