Raul Midon performed a solo set at An Die Musik LIVE in Baltimore on October 11, 2023 that showcased his artistic versality and ability to create a compelling show without a backing band. Midon's songwriting prowess showed throughout the evening as he transitioned from funk influenced songs to a Joni Mitchell inspired piano ballad. effortlessly. A highlight of Midon's set is how many different sounds he is able to create, from playing bongos and guitar at the same time, to his characteristic "mouth trumpet," on his breakout 2005 hit "State of Mind" to add variety to the music. The artist also teased his wider artistic vision. He discussed a novel that he is currently working on from the perspective of a blind person and reading aloud a poem about the things he would do, like walk alone, if he could see.
