Raul Midón “writes and plays music that defies easy classification, combining soulful tenor vocals with a prodigious guitar technique influenced by flamenco and other Latin styles, jazz, R&B, and favorite singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. He’s also known for his uncanny “mouth trumpet” solos, a technique he perfected while a student in the University of Miami’s jazz program. Since then, he has worked with an impressive list of jazz and pop icons including Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Bill Withers.”

“Walt has a smokey vocal in the realm of Marc Cohn (“Silver Thunderbird,” “Walking In Memphis,”) & Joe Henry (“Trampoline”). He’s a singer-songwriter with stories & an approach… sung in a narrative as if he were talking to you.”

“…the very essence of Nether Hour: raw, untamed, and deeply rooted in Austin’s vibrant music culture. This forthcoming record feels like a midnight drive with every twist revealing something new — a searing solo, a thumping bassline, or an unstoppable beat. These guys are the real deal, blending Southern grit with the ability to shift from bluesy riffs to swampy grooves in a heartbeat. With chemistry forged on countless stages, their soundscapes are as unpredictable as a Texas storm, yet the Nether Hour’s spirit is unmistakable throughout.”
