Eight Gigs: Floetry

Before they were penning songs for Michael Jackson and collaborating with Common and Mos Def, Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart were busy dropping jaws on the basketball courts of South London as teenagers (Ambrosius even got a scholarship to play for Georgia Tech). All of which is to say these women are crazy, crazy talented, and as much as they shone with the ball, R&B is all the better for their picking up the mic. After parting ways in 2007, the melody-driven spoken-word duo reunited last year, so this local stop on their national tour is a don’t-miss opportunity. 1013 K Street, www.facebook.com/FloetryOfficial.
