Raul Midon @ Madison Square Park

Not your average pop artist, Raul Midon relies on the tradition of pop inventiveness to combine the soulfulness of Stevie Wonder, the non-indigenous sounds pioneered by Paul Simon and the trend defying individuality of Bill Withers. Blind from birth, this New York based vocalist/guitarist brings an original syncopated, flamenco and jazz infused virtuosic approach to his steel-stringed acoustic and vocal delivery.
