Esperanza Spalding will be performing at City Winery St. Louis on August 29, 2026. Spalding is a highly acclaimed bassist, vocalist, and composer whose musical style blends jazz with elements of soul, funk, and Brazilian music. Her work is characterized by complex harmonies, sophisticated arrangements, and lyrical explorations of identity and community. She gained prominence after winning the 2010 Grammy Award for Best New Artist – the first bassist to receive the honor. Throughout her career, Spalding has released several critically acclaimed albums and consistently pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz.

City Winery St. Louis is located in The Loop neighborhood and opened in November 2018. It functions as both a working winery producing small-batch wines and a live music venue.
