Another incredible show this July at the Garden Party in the historic Weeksville area in Brooklyn. This weekend, Washington, D.C. native, Meshell Ndegeocello will bless Brooklyn with her deeply inspired brand of soul. For those who don’t know, Meshell burst onto the scene in the early 90’s with her incredible debut, Plantation Lullabies, which featured the groovy song, Dreadlocks, among other classics. Since then, she has received critical acclaim and has continued to build upon her significant legacy by working with some of music’s most celebrated musicians like the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Alanis Morrisette, James Blood Ulmer, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Tony Allen, John Medeski, Billy Preston and Chaka Khan, among others. Based on rumors in the grapevine (mainly several blog posts this Spring like this one) that she may be doing several Prince covers. This could be legendary folks!
Indie singer/songwriter/keyboardist Muhsinah’s sound includes gripping vocals, inspired wordplay and thoughtful composition. The classically trained, Washington D.C. native toured with Common last year and is featured on his track “Changes.” For her Weeksville set, Muhsinah will perform songs from her forthcoming album Gone, due out this summer.
