Singer-composer-guitarist Raúl Midón, is a rising star discovered at Joe's Pub. The New Mexico-born, New York-based Midón plays a remarkable mélange of soul, R&B, pop, folk, jazz and Latin music, highlighting earnest, lyrical songwriting; full-bodied vocals steeped in soul; a singular syncopated, flamenco- and jazz-infused acoustic guitar style; a unique vocal trumpet improvisation; and a hopeful disposition. While you can hear traces of Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Jose Feliciano and, Richie Havens in his music, Midón is an extraordinary original whose passion is expressed in his indelible songs. The New York Times has called him a "virtuoso," while Newsday heralded him as a showstopper. The Washington Post commented that Midón's "style is a febrile amalgam of Stevie Wonder vocals, feel-good pop songwriting, sophisticated jazz harmonies and a ferociously aggressive way of playing acoustic guitar."

To celebrate Joe’s Pub’s 10th Anniversary, on October 11th and 12th we are offering 10 free shows showcasing the depth and variety of performances that have made Joe’s Pub the premier venue for live music in New York City. Tickets for the 10 free shows will be available by the Joe’s Pub Virtual Line accessible on www.joespub.com.
