The Oakland-born artist — a three-time GRAMMY winner — has earned a reputation for transforming every show into a deeply engaging, unforgettable experience.
From Glastonbury to Newport Folk, Fantastic Negrito captivates audiences with his mix of grit, humor, and raw honesty. His performances turn struggle into celebration, and his songs take on new life each night, reshaped by the moment and the crowd.
Every show is a testament to the power of live music to inspire, challenge, and bring people together.

Nat Myers is a Kentucky country-blues and roots musician. His home is in Kenton county.
Nat’s debut album, Yellow Peril, produced by Dan Auerbach and released with Easy Eye Sound, is filled with jumping blues songs, while also paying homage to his folk roots as well. One can tell Nat is running from some danger, but also running toward something harder to define.
Full of intelligence and soul, contradiction and nuance, and steeped in his love for history and poetry, Yellow Peril reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts. His record remains relevant since its 2023 release.
Nat has toured across the States, Europe, and Australia, and opened for the likes of Charley Crockett, Willie Watson, Shakey Graves, Langhorne Slim, Willi Carlisle, JJ Grey, G Love, James Hunter, Vincent Neil Emerson, and The Record Company.
The blues keeps Nat moving, and the music to come is sure to build from his momentum.
“I’m always searching,” he says. “Itinerancy is something that I’ve owned. I’ve done a lot of traveling, it’s seeped into my songwriting and my music. Life just feels simpler on the road. You’re just trying to get to the next place in one piece.”
