Artist Description
"In the search for love, truth and justice a good vamp never hurts. That's the modus operandi of Meshell Ndegeocello."
-Jon Pareles, The New York Times
Canonized, marginalized or just scrutinized, Meshell Ndegeocello
has given up with the politics of explaining herself. After 20 years in
an industry that has called her everything from avant garde to a dying
breed, what unquestionably remains is the fearsome bassist, prolific
songwriter and the creativity and curiosity of an authentic musical
force. With that, she has earned critical acclaim, the unfailing
respect of fellow players, songwriters and composers, and the
dedication of her diverse, unclassifiable fans. For the sake of setting
the record straight, a few brass tacks remain: Meshell was born in
Germany, raised in DC, signed at 23, and has been nominated for 10
Grammy awards.
Meshell
returns to Joe's for what promises to be 3 unforgettable nights of
music with The Best of Bitter & More on April 8th & 9th, and a
night of Gil Scott-Heron covers on April 10th, 2010.
