GRAMMY-winning bassist, singer, and songwriter performs covers and compositions that speak to American protest
GRAMMY-winning bassist, singer, and songwriter Meshell Ndegeocello is an uncompromising trailblazer whose deliriously funky, soulful work doubles as potent commentary on race, gender, and LGBTQ+ rights.
For the family-friendly matinee and evening shows on Saturday, May 2, Meshell and her ensemble will be joined by some of the Bay Area’s most groundbreaking poets, including Aja Monet, Genny Lim, Tongo Eisen-Martin and Mimi Tempestt for two concerts that bring together jazz, soul, and spoken word.
