Stew and The Negro Problem

Stew and The Negro Problem

An irreverent homage to the “original black-punk-novelist” James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Song is a spirited “rock and roll song-cycle” from the creators of the Tony Award-winning musical Passing Strange, Stew and his longtime collaborator Heidi Rodewald.

Fronting his genre-bending band, The Negro Problem, in their Canadian debut, Stew narrates a highly personal and provocative account of Baldwin’s lasting influence with wild humor and an irresistible mix of psychedelic soul, art-damaged-pop and twisted jazz.

Stew and The Negro Problem are Stew, Heidi Rodewald, Dana Lyn, Art Terry and Marty Beller
