Toni is celebrating the 30-year anniversary of her debut album Union.
Her evocative music has communicated the ills of the world and the causes she has supported through out her acclaimed career.
The 61-year- old songstress will perform hits from the albums Union, House of Hope, the Woman's Boat and Keep the Faith in the first hour, with the second hour an introduction to her new music.
The Retrospective Tour has a gruelling schedule of five shows a week, however that doesn't daunt the soulful singer.
"It's really easy, it's like being on a conveyor belt. I get an exchange of love from the audiences, and I'm not travelling too many hours in the day," Childs said.
"I make appointments at a local gym, and then I am fresh for the day."
"I have bass, guitar, cello, and keyboards. It's more of a studio experience, so I don't have to sing above the band.
"Wherever I go, I try not to talk to much. If you are quiet you can rebuild your energy," she said.
She loves audience participation.
"I've gotten rid of that third wall, I like to break that down to really make a concert special rather than me just being up there being special, it's more intimate."
Child's believes a concert reveals "where we are now, and where we've been".
"When people move into their 40s and 50s there is a reckoning. You go back to unravel your life. After 13 years of illness, I had to come back into my skin."
Both of her latest albums, It's All a Beautiful Noise and Citizens of the Planet are part of two unique 3D Mapping animated shows - two hours of music, animation and high tech audience engagement.
"I'm going to make them the audience the rock stars," she said.
An exclusive VIP package which includes one concert ticket within the first 5 rows, a Toni Childs T-shirt, a digital copy of the songstresses Greatest Hits two CD set, plus a drink backstage after the concert with Toni, go to tonichilds.com/shop.
The performance will be at the Civic Centre on June 22.
