PICK OF THE WEEK: Jose Gonzalez - Friday, October 12 - The Bluebird Theater, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: The intimate Bluebird Theater is sure to be silent when Gonzalez takes the stage Friday night. His subtle fingerpicking requires the listener to pay close attention as it is a delicate sound that emenates from the speakers and not the blaring roar of a rock band.

Gonzalez's dark and brooding lyrics compliment his arrangements beautifully as he touches on the powerful subjects of love, loss and power. This Sweedish born musician is deftly stretching the genre of Folk Music while weaving in elements of pop.

Having covered The Knife and Massive Attack on his first two albums, Gonzalez may be better known for his covers than for his original music. However, his songs, while at times troubling, have a way of worming their into your mind and making you think about life in a way that you may not have considered.

At The Bluebird Gonzalez is playing solo with only his nylon string acoustic guitar to accompany him. His blend of foot shuffling and knocks on the body on the guitar add a percussive element to his sparsely beautiful sound.
