Manor Avenue

 The virtuosic Meshell Ndegeocello returns to Bard with a celebration of the prolific writer, orator, and activist James Baldwin. Winner of the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Jazz Album, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin sees Ndegeocello embark on a prophetic musical odyssey that transcends boundaries and genres, delving headfirst into race, sexuality, religion, and other recurring themes explored in the celebrated writer’s canon. The multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer renders an immersive and palpable document that is as sagacious, unabashed, and introspective as Baldwin was in life.
Nearly a decade in the making, No More Water began in 2016 as Can I Get a Witness? at The Harlem Stage Gatehouse’s annual showcase honoring James Baldwin. Inspired by his seminal work The Fire Next Time, Ndegeocello deepened her exploration of Baldwin’s legacy in 2020 with Chapter & Verse, a multidisciplinary project commissioned by Fisher Center LAB. |

 Kristin and Chris (a.k.a. Critter) met back when their bands Uncle Earl and Punch Brothers were just getting started. Over the years, they’ve shared the stage and studio with some of the most luminous artists of our time (Paul Simon, John Paul Jones, Emmylou Harris), and they’ve won awards (John Lennon Song Contest Grand Prize, a Grammy, Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year). New parenthood has gifted this couple with more time at home, and more time to play music together. As a duo, they favor Kristin’s originals, peppered with the bluegrass and old-time standards that Critter grew up on. All reimagined for two guitars, close harmonies, the occasional riff on a dance board or harmonica, and an ever more finely-tuned sense of “the things that matter.”
