Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Synthesizer

Most songwriters claim a variety of influences. But few weave the disparate threads comprising their musical whole as smoothly as Raul Midón. On his latest record, appropriately titled Synthesis, the New York City-based songwriter strings together elements of rock, soul, jazz and Latin into a dazzling amalgam of sound equal to and, in moments, greater than the sum of its parts. This Sunday, catch Midón at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.
