GRAMMY Award-winning artist Meshell Ndegeocello brings her new album to life in an unforgettable live performance. Nearly a decade in the making, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a profound musical journey that channels the timeless words of James Baldwin through Ndegeocello’s genre-defying artistry.

A multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, Ndegeocello infuses Baldwin’s exploration of race, sexuality, religion, and identity with her own unique blend of soulful melodies, jazz, funk, and spoken word.
