The first woman ever featured on the cover of Bass Player magazine, Meshell Ndegeocello is a restless, boundary-blurring artist whose interests range from rap, rock, and R&B to jazz, funk, and punk. She pulls a warm, fat groove out of her bass – so much so that she’s been asked to perform with the Rolling Stones, Madonna, James Blood Ulmer, Billy Preston, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Ndegeocello is a talented songwriter and has 8 CDs to her credit (her latest, Devil’s Halo, is great). Ndegeocello came to fame in the ‘90s after being signed to Madonna’s record label. A rebel with a backbeat, the often controversial Ndegeocello makes exciting music that is simultaneously provocative and party hearty. Joining her for their Victoria debut are Chris Bruce guitar, Deantoni Parks drums and Keefus Ciancia keyboards, with special guests Lisa Germano cello and Oren Bloedow and Mark Kelley vocals.
