Words, Wings, & Wine
Words, Wings & Wine makes its second official Ticketmaster appearance on February 6, 2026, returning to the M&T Bank Exchange for a night built for people who love powerful art, unforgettable performances, and community at its highest level. From poetry to live painting to the signature WWW atmosphere, this is a show that celebrates creativity in a way you can feel the moment you walk in.
This edition features two nationally respected artists:
Steven Willis: Known for his sharp storytelling and electrifying delivery, Steven has performed on stages such as HBO’s Def Poetry, The Chicago Theatre, Nuyorican Poets Café, and colleges across the country. His work blends humor, heart, and cultural commentary in a way that hits audiences instantly. Steven is recognized for his viral performances, published works, and his ability to turn a room into a moment you remember long after the show is over.
Ayanna Florence: Ayanna is a rising force in spoken word and performance poetry, widely loved for her emotional depth, vocal power, and uplifting messaging. She has headlined stages up and down the East Coast, built a strong online following through her artistic storytelling, and is known for performances that leave audiences inspired and fully locked in. Her work centers healing, empowerment, and connection — and every show she touches becomes an experience.
Together, these two bring a balance of brilliance and raw presence that defines Words, Wings & Wine.
Throughout the night, guests will enjoy a curated mix of spoken word, comedy, live music and a live 2×3 ft painting created during the show that will be raffled off at the end.
Ticket Options:
$36 – General Admission: Access to the full show with guaranteed seating.
$56 – Preferred Admission: All General Admission perks, plus table seating and a free raffle ticket for our live-painting giveaway.
Words, Wings & Wine is Baltimore’s home for artistry, energy and community — and now one of the first African American poetry shows in the city to hit Ticketmaster. This night is designed for anyone who believes in supporting the arts, uplifting creatives, and being part of a moment that keeps growing.
