Meshell Ndegeocello - No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin

Saturday, February 15, 2025 @ 7:30pm



McCarter Theatre Center (Matthews Theatre)
91 University Place, Princeton, NJ 08540

Co-Produced by Jill Newman Productions

In Partnership with the Humanities Council at Princeton University



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. 

READ: “Meshell Ndegeocello Could Have Had Stardom but Chose Music Instead”

This event is held in partnership with the Humanities Council at Princeton University, as part of the Baldwin Circles project.

Join an Arts & Ideas conversation on stage with the artists and Princeton University poet and professor Patricia Smith following the performance.
