This genre-defying, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning bassist delivers a powerful musical experience like no other.

In honor of the centennial of American author and activist James Baldwin’s birth, Meshell Ndegeocello—renowned for her trailblazing role in the creation of neo-soul—presents No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, a transformative concert tour supporting her second Blue Note album.

With No More Water, Ndegeocello leads audiences on a profound musical journey through themes of race, sexuality, and spirituality—core to Baldwin’s legacy. Her performance blends genre-spanning soundscapes with poetic interludes, featuring contributions from celebrated voices such as Staceyann Chin and Pulitzer Prize winner Hilton Als.

Joined by a powerhouse ensemble—including guitarist and co-producer Chris Bruce, vocalist Justin Hicks, saxophonist Josh Johnson, keyboardist Jebin Bruni, and drummer Abe Rounds—Ndegeocello creates a performance that is part concert, part celebration, and part spiritual awakening.
