Akeem Ali Brings The Texture Tour to Howard Theatre in Washington, DC

Akeem Ali is bringing The Texture Tour to one of the capital’s most historic stages. The Mississippi-born, Atlanta-based artist performs at Howard Theatre in Washington, DC, on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 8:00 PM.

The show takes place at Howard Theatre, 620 T Street NW, Washington, DC. It is part of a nationwide run supporting his Texture Tape series, a project built around songs named for fabrics, each one shading a different side of Black life and identity.

Ali has built his name by blending sharp rapping with smooth, nostalgic singing, drawing on the late 1980s and early 1990s R&B sound of acts like Guy, Bobby Brown and New Edition. His latest chapter, Texture Tape III, keeps that balance front and center, pairing confident bars with melodies made for a late-night drive.

Howard Theatre is the perfect room for this show: historic, intimate and built for voices that carry. Expect a set that moves between rap and R&B without losing its groove for a second.
