Raul MidÓn at Yoshi's Oakland

“ ...a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.”
— New York Times
Blind Singer-Songwriter 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,” New York Times.

“ ...a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.”
— New York Times
Blind Singer-Songwriter 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,” New York Times. Midón recently debuted the album’s first single, the uplifting bluesy pop song Keep On Keeping On on the The Jennifer Hudson Show (December 2023). 
Joining him on this body of work are his friends, industry veterans, Andres Forero (Hamilton, Phish, U2) Drums & Percussion, Richard Hammond (Hamilton) bass, Federico Pena (Black Lives) keyboards & piano. The anthemic Next Time, a “galloping rock waltz” is a co-write with New York fixture Mike Errico, who plays on it as well. String arrangements were provided by Andrew Sherman.
Lost & Found, the album’s moniker which Midón calls “smooth folk” or folk with harmonic surprises is a celebration of redemption. The lyrics were inspired by his listening to Bob Dylan’s reading of his poem, Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie.
