Xavier Dphrepaulezz, better known as the one and only Fantastic Negrito, is a true Bay Area success story. Having gone from busking at BART stations to winning Grammys, along the way Fantastic Negrito has survived a near fatal car crash, composed the theme song for the Oakland Roots Sports Club and won NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest. This New Year’s Eve, the inimitable Mr. Dphrpaulezz soundtracks the celebrations at Guild Theatre, with local soul rockers Monophonics in tow. Forget both Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest—this is the real Bay Area rocking New Year’s Eve.
