SUMMARY:Fantastic Negrito with Lamont Landers
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nFantastic Negrito\nThis is Your Music\nFor anyone who ever thought it was over but hoped it wasn’t \n3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Fantastic Negrito releases 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. \nHe 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. \n \n\nwith Lamont Landers \nBorn and raised in Alabama\, Lamont Landers grew up absorbing the soulful sounds of the South that surrounded him. At the age of 14\, he taught himself how to play guitar\, and\, at the age of 19\, began singing. He spent years quietly honing his talents behind his bedroom doors\, listening to records by Stevie Wonder\, Al Green\, Sly & The Family Stone\, and Ray Charles on repeat. At the age of 22\, a candid video recorded by his sister of Lamont performing the Ray Charles’ classic “Hit the Road Jack” went viral on YouTube and garnered over 400\,000 views overnight. In the summer of 2023\, history repeated itself with similar enthusiastic fan response propelling five Lamont Landers TikTok videos to over 1\,000\,000 views each. A feature on the Bobby Bones nationally syndicated radio show and shoutouts from music tastemakers ranging from Snoop Dogg to Questlove soon followed.  No longer a secret of North Alabama\, Lamont will be touring throughout North America in 2024. \n \n \n\nReservations\nTable and blanket reservations are non-refundable\, but can be transferred to another available date in the 2025 season. \nPlease Note: General Admission Donations do not include reserved seating. This is a way to make your gate donation in advance. \nTable reservations seat four.  \nBlanket reservations are placed in the blankets-only area of lawn and do not allow for chair placement. Blankets are roughly 5′ x 5′\, comfortably fitting 2 adults and 1 child.  \nSee you in the park!
