Fantastic Negrito

AGMP Presents
January Blues Festival 2026 presents FANTASTIC NEGRITO

+ special guests: TBC
+ Host/DJ: SNOWBOY

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.
