JOSÉ GONZÁLEZ - LOCAL VALLEY

Hailed by Rolling Stone as "someone whose subtle, carefully crafted music delivers rewards to listeners who know how to wait," González's stellar career can only be described as a dream. Whether appearing alone with his guitar or with a 20-piece orchestra, the visionary singer-songwriter's performances are never merely shows - they are events. And González has every intention of continuing this tradition as he prepares his fully solo tour in support of the release of his fourth studio album, Local Valley.
