Fantastic Negrito, is an African-American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, RnB, and roots music.
In his early years of being a performer, he made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records.
After a car cash nearly robbed him of his ability to play guitar, he began an unlikely redemption arc in 2015, when he won the first NPR Tiny Desk Contest.
In the years to come, Negrito would go on to take home three consecutive GRAMMYs for Best Contemporary Blues Album, tour with everyone from Sturgill Simpson to Chris Cornell, collaborate with the likes of Sting and E-40, launch his own Storefront Records label and perform at nearly every major festival on the map. He just received his 4th Grammy nomination, Best American Roots Performance, for the song “Oh Betty” from White Jesus Black Problems.
We’re more than excited to welcome an artist of such calibre to our stage this October.
