CITY WINERY Poetry vs. Hip-Hop•FloVortex ANNOUNCES GROUNDBREAKING NATIONAL POETRY MONTH TOUR: A WOMAN'S WORDS

In celebration of National Poetry Month, City Winery is proud to present A WOMAN’S WORDS, a double headlining tour featuring two of the most influential voices in poetry and music today: Natalie “The Floacist” Stewart of the Grammy-nominated duo Floetry and Queen Sheba, a two-time Grammy-nominated Spoken Word-Poet and international recording artist. This electrifying tour will be an unforgettable fusion of poetry, music, and storytelling, filmed live for an upcoming album release.

Set to travel across multiple cities, A WOMAN’S WORDS promises a night of soul-stirring poetry, mesmerizing melodies, and electric stage presence. With a live DJ, a dynamic host, and two powerhouse poets from each city, this event will set the stage for an evening where words move like music and poetry transforms into power.

About The Floacist: Grammy-winning, eight-time Grammy-nominated Natalie “The Floacist” Stewart is a poet, MC, songwriter, and one of the most impactful Black British artists of our time. As a founding member of Floetry, she pioneered the concept of Floetic Delivery with Musical Intent, crafting timeless albums (Floetic, Floacism, Flo’Ology) before soaring into a solo career with critically acclaimed releases (Floetic Soul, Floetry RE:Birth, Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid). Having collaborated with legends like Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, and Prince, The Floacist continues to shape and elevate the global Spoken Word and music scene. She is also the visionary behind FLO Vortex, a groundbreaking spoken word event that celebrates the depth and power of poetry.

A true innovator, The Floacist seamlessly blends poetry, Hip-Hop, and R&B, creating a signature sound that has left an indelible mark on the industry. She has toured extensively, mesmerizing audiences with her unique lyrical flow and commanding stage presence. Beyond music, she is a dedicated mentor and advocate for artistic growth, using her platform to inspire and uplift the next generation of poets and musicians. Whether in the studio, on stage, or behind the scenes, The Floacist’s artistry continues to push boundaries, making her one of the most revered figures in contemporary spoken word and music.

About Queen Sheba: A two-time Grammy-nominated Spoken Word-Poet and international recording artist, Queen Sheba is a force to be reckoned with. With over two decades of experience captivating audiences across the globe, she is known for her Atlanta-infused Spoken Word style, fearless storytelling, and electric stage presence. A trailblazer in the Spoken Word-Poetry category, Queen Sheba bridges cultural gaps through art, healing, and community engagement. As the creator of Poetry vs. Hip-Hop®, she has curated a movement that connects poets and MCs in a dynamic lyrical showdown. Having collaborated with Robert Glasper, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and ironically has opened for Floetry on several occasions—now an international recording artist in her own right—she takes the stage alongside The Floacist to deliver an unmissable experience.

A WOMAN’S WORDS is more than a performance—it is history in the making. Audiences are invited to witness and be part of this monumental event. Leave anything weighing you down at the door and get ready for the best memories of your life.

Tickets are now available for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Secure yours today!
