Music Haven presents Raul Midon
Sunday, August 01, 2010

...with Special Guest Martha Redbone. One man, one guitar -- but not like you’ve ever heard before. Raul Midon uses his mouth like a trumpet and his guitar like a drum for an explosive blend of bass, harmony, rhythm and melody. His rich, supple tenor, not to mention his flamenco and jazz-infused songs, make this New Mexico-bred New Yorker one to watch on the world scene.
Martha Redbone adds flavors of traditional Native American music to old school original rock, blues and soul.
