Grammy®-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has earned renown as one of music’s most distinctive and searching voices – “a one-man band… who is spiritually connected,” according to The New York Times, and “an eclectic adventurist,” in the words of People Magazine.

The New Mexico native has released eight albums since 1999, including the acclaimed studio productions Don’t Hesitate (Mack Avenue/Artistry, 2014), Synthesis (Decca/Universal, 2009), A World Within a World (Manhattan/EMI, 2007) and State of Mind (Manhattan/EMI, 2005). Midón’s questing musicality makes him, as the Huffington Post put it, “a free man beyond category.” Attesting to his enduring ambitions is Midón’s ninth studio album, Bad Ass, and Blind, released via Mack Avenue/Artistry Music on March 24, 2017.

The latest CD by Raul was recorded with the prestigious Metropole Orkest based in the Netherlands and under the direction of the noted arranger and multiple Grammy® winning leader, Vince Mendoza. If You Really Want is garnering impressive airplay around the globe on jazz radio and streaming stations, a showcase for Midón’s multiple talents.

His one-man shows at Dazzle this Friday will have Raul singing, playing guitar, bongos, keyboard and imitating horn instruments with his gifted voice.
