José González 2016 Australian Tour
Conceived as the third part of an acoustic trilogy complementing 2006’s ‘Veneer’ and 2007’s ‘In Our Nature’, the album is almost entirely self-produced, becoming as González sees it, his “zoomed-out eye on humanity on a small, pale blue dot in a cold, sparse and unfriendly space”.
Mastering the rare craft of spellbinding audiences armed only with his classical guitar and gentle melodies, José González will deliver solo performances imbued with his daringly understated ...
