Raul Midón

Singer-songwriter Raul Midón began his career as a backup singer for well-known pop acts like Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin. Yet his own music covers a variety of genres, from jazz and folk to a cappella and Latin influences. Blind since birth, the New York Times recently called him “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus” that suggests “a three-way fusion of Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin and José Feliciano.”

Raul Midón performs at City Winery tonight. Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9. More information here.

    I saw Raul open for Jason Mraz several years ago and fell in love with his voice, music and presence on stage. I am actually going to see him tonight with some friends at the City Winery and can't wait to see how he's grown as an artist. Cheers!
