This summer, City Winery is honored to present the long-awaited U.S. solo debut of a living legend in music and poetry: The Floacist, Grammy award winner, eight-time Grammy nominee, platinum-selling artist, and co-founder of the iconic duo, Floetry. With over two decades of lyrical brilliance and artistic mastery, Natalie “The Floacist” Stewart returns to American stages not only as a global Neo-Soul pioneer, but as a woman standing firm in her truth celebrating four years in remission as a breast cancer survivor.
For the first time in nearly ten years, The Floacist steps back onto U.S. soil with a message deeper than music. This tour is more than a performance, it’s a spiritual reset, a reclamation of voice, and a living testimony of resilience, healing, and purpose. With her signature fusion of poetic delivery and musical intent, she invites audiences to journey with her through Floetry favorites, unreleased solo treasures, and empowering reflections born from her personal path to healing.
Backed by a full live band, each evening promises to be a transformative experience, a space where rhythm becomes ritual and the stage becomes sanctuary. As The Floacist reclaims her spotlight, she calls us to meet her in the “now” to celebrate life, word, rhythm, and the power of the human spirit.
Grammy Winner, Eight-Time Grammy Nominated Neo-Soul Sensation and Platinum Selling Recording Artist Natalie “Floacist” Stewart is a founding member of the internationally acclaimed duo, ‘Floetry’ and originator of the Floetic ethos of ‘Poetic Delivery with Musical Intent’ with a recording career spanning over two decades and including six critically acclaimed releases.
As a true innovator and multi-media artist, “The Floacist’s” blend of poetry, Neo soul and hip hop has left an indelible mark on the industry. Known internationally for her signature tone, her unique flow and uplifting stage presence, she has toured extensively worldwide, mesmerising audiences with her ‘solutionary’ messages about love, life and living!
Tickets are available now for this once-in-a-lifetime tour. Witness the return of a legend. Join a movement of soul and testimony. Be part of the story.
She will be in town on June 23.
