Genre-bending icons Raul Midón and Lionel Loueke join forces to present a special night of song and guitar wizardry at The Triple Door in Seattle. The revered instrumentalists and vocalists perform sets of original material in an evening that culminates in an unforgettable jam.

Blind since birth, Midón produced-engineered his 2017 album Bad Ass and Blind, which received a 2018 Best Jazz Vocal Album Grammy nomination.
