SANTA BARBARA — José González and yMusic to perform from 8 to 10 p.m. Thursday, March 10 at UCSB Campbell Hall.
José González is a testament to the irrefutable power of one man and a guitar. His classically-inspired playing draws comparisons to Nick Drake, Paul Simon and Elliott Smith. He is a masterfully eloquent interpreter of folk, pop and world music traditions, building songs that are powerful, haunting and intimate. González will be joined by yMusic, a group of New York City instrumentalists whose virtuosic execution has attracted the attention of high-profile collaborators as formidable and innovative as Beck, Sufjan Stevens, Mark Dancigers and Ben Folds. José González and yMusic will play unique chamber ensemble arrangements of José González songs following a special performance by yMusic.
