Roots Meets Orchestra

Multi-Grammy Award winner Fantastic Negrito bridges roots music with the grandeur of the San Francisco Symphony this September! An artist who blurs genres between traditional blues, funk, rock, and soul, his songwriting takes on a massive new scale in this special symphonic collaboration, with Jonathan Taylor Rush conducting the orchestra.

This performance also honors another milestone, marking exactly ten years since his performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, which catapulted him to wider acclaim. Soon after that he found himself with a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2017 for The Last Days of Oakland, and again in 2019 for Please Don’t Be Dead and 2021 for Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? A transformative voice to witness live, don’t miss this glorious reimagining of his work with the power of an orchestra.
