It is an absolute privilege to have Raul Midón returning to our stage with a warm-up show prior to his performance at the London Jazz festival. His show enthralled our audience in 2023.
“A one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.”— New York Times
Blind singer-songwriter guitarist Raul Midón is nothing if not prolific. He has become a twice grammy nominated artist with not only fabulous song-writing skills but both a vocal and guitar technique that stands out from so many other artists.
Midón's breezy style has endeared him to jazz & pop audiences worldwide. His sweet, silky baritone delivery and poignant, emotional phrasing have been influenced by everyone from Bill Withers and Michael Franks to Donny Hathaway and D'Angelo.
His 14th and latest album, Lost & Found is a blend of what he calls “smooth folk,” “alt-pop” and “jazz.” A master at combining genres, “his music suggests a three way fusion of Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin and José Feliciano,” New York Times. Midón recently debuted the album’s first single, the uplifting bluesy pop song Keep On Keeping On on the The Jennifer Hudson Show (December 2023).
He has worked with countless legends in the industry including Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock, & Sting. In 2022 he paid tribute to Joni Mitchell with the National Symphony Orchestra arranged and conducted by Vince Mendoza at The Kennedy Center alongside Lalah Hathaway, Jimmie Herrod & Renee Fleming (PBS Next at the Kennedy Center). He received two Grammy nominations back-to-back in 2017 and 2018 for his albums Bad Ass and Blind and If You Really Want in the Best Jazz Vocal Category. In 2019 he was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater, University of Miami. In 2021 he was given the Disability Rights Ambassador of the Year award, presented to him by his colleague Jason Mraz.
Rarely does Raul Midón perform in the UK so join us for what will be an incredible concert in the intimate, candlelit surroundings of our venue.
