There is nothing Meshell performs and it is not spectacular. Her performance and music was amazing. I traveled 790 miles, from Chicago, to see her. Unfortunately, I missed most of the performance, but the small part I did see made the trip worth it. I can't wait to travel to another city to see her next year.
Pier 17 New York City, NYAmazing concert!!! She and her band were absolutely phenomenal. The Wexner Center, however, was the wrong venue. There was no seating and it was not advertised as a standing room only. The artist didn’t even know that it was no seating. Standing for almost 2 hours was a bit much for the crowd that was there.
Wexner Center For The Arts Columbus, OHMeshell is one with her music. I was moved to tears as she played songs that had carried me through so many memories and hardships over these 20 years. She has brought such joy to my soul & I am grateful to have her music in my life. Thank you, Meshell.
Nublu 151 New York, NYSuch an uplifting and inspiring experience. Meshell and her incredible band of poets and musicians brought something much more intimate than many may have expected. We left empowered and at peace knowing that they managed to bring us together on a spiritual level. 🙌🏾
