About The Event
Blind singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón is nothing if not prolific. 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” (The New York Times). Midón debuted the album’s first single, the uplifting bluesy pop song “Keep On Keeping On,” on the Jennifer Hudson Show in December 2023.
Midón has worked with countless legends in the industry, including Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock, and 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, and Renée Fleming (PBS’s 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 Album category. In 2019, he was recognized with the Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater, the University of Miami. In 2021, he was given the Disability Rights Ambassador of the Year award, presented to him by his colleague Jason Mraz.
More information about Midón can be found on his website.
