The January Blues Festival is thrilled to welcome 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Fantastic Negrito to the line up for two exclusive concerts.
Born 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.
Fantastic Negrito has also 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.
Host and DJ for this incredible line up is Snowboy playing Chicago Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Blues Rock and more.

Please contact a 229 representative for further help with your ticket purchase.* Advance ticket purchase may be required. * Box office information is subject to change. 229 promotes equality of opportunity for people with disabilities and we are proud to work with Attitude is Everything, undertaking the necessary steps to meet their requirements. Getting inside the venue There is a doorway, which gives you access to a lift, which can take you into the basement venue. Please make yourself known to Security at the Venue entrance and they will arrange for you to be escorted into the premises. Anyone with a disability will be offered priority entry. Inside 229 We do not have a designated viewing area, however, we do prefer to position wheelchair users directly in front of the mixing desk, which is positioned to one side. The stage is high and therefore viewing is good and there are great sight lines to the stage from any position in the venue. It is important that wheelchair users do not block any fire exits or public walkways. Accessible Toilet & Bar We have disabled toilets for both Venue 1 and Venue 2 on the same level as the main viewing areas. The bars are also on the same level. We also have a public bar on the ground level with another accessible toilet near the smoking area.
