Me’shell mused about this..but truly her concert was a spiritual experience! The crowd could feel all the positive energy coming from the stage. The incredible band behind Me’shell played new songs from her latest Grammy Winning release but also added fan favorites from older LPs including “Atomic Dog,” “Grace” from the phenomenal LP “Bitter” and my favorite song of all time..”Outside your door”. It was a magical performance!!!

A whole vibe! This truly hit my spirit. Would see it a 100x over. True artistry from Meshell, the band, and even the sign language interpreter.
