José Gonzalez

Instantly, the voice and guitar of this soft-spoken Swedish artist are recognizable from soundtracks and commerical music, and his ability to wrap his melodies around sincere vocals is simultaneously spellbinding and profoundly thought-provoking.

“His mesmerizing playing and the deep, emotive timbre of his plaintive voals speak for themselves.” — The Age

OPENING ACT: BEDOUINE
Bedouine, a gallicized riff on bedouin, the nomad, the wanderer. Anyone can assume such a name, but Azniv Korkejian has an experience of what it means, the type of ground it covers. Sixties folk meets seventies country-funk with a glimmer of bossa nova cool. Lithe guitar picking and precise lyrical excursions. That mesmerizing voice and phrasing.
