SUMMARY:Fantastic Negrito @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nFantastic Negrito \nA Tour de Point Show\n \n  \nThursday\, June 26  ~  Doors: 7:30 PM / Show: 8 PM \nHigher Ground | South Burlington\, VT \n– Tickets and Event Info – \n  \n3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Fantastic Negrito released his highly anticipated new album\, Son of a Broken Man\, on October 18\, 2024 via his own Storefront Records. The new album sees Fantastic Negrito encapsulating his inimitable style\, from hard-hitting guitar riffs to expressive ballads\, with the unexpected twists that have become his trademark. It stands as one of his most personal works to date\, exploring family\, deception\, and the human desire to hide the true self as he dives deep into the struggle between father and son. \nBorn Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz\, Fantastic Negrito’s story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of music. By now much has been made of Negrito’s unique story – growing up in an orthodox Muslim household\, a doomed major label deal\, the near-fatal car crash that permanently damaged his guitar playing hand—as well as the remarkable redemption arc that began in 2015\, when he won the first-ever NPR Tiny Desk Contest. He has since earned three GRAMMY® Awards for “Best Contemporary Blues Album\,” and shared stages with everyone from Sturgill Simpson to Chris Cornell to Bruce Springsteen. He’s collaborated in the studio with the likes of Sting\, E-40\, and Tank and The Bangas\, performed on countless headline world tours and at festivals such as Lollapalooza\, Glastonbury\, Newport Folk\, and WOMAD\, and founded the Revolution Plantation\, an urban farm aimed at youth education and empowerment.
