Hello Fine Friends,
Few things make me happier than sharing music with people. One of my earliest musical memories is standing around the classroom piano with my third grade class. The teacher played and we sang and I thought it was magical and thrilling. Fast forward all these years- sharing music with others still thrills me. Wanna feel that thrill too? Join us for our performance at:

The musical journey continues...
In 8th grade I was already playing Joplin, Bach, Gershwin, Chopin, Beethoven and more... I knew music was an important part of living, but beyond that, I had no idea what the future had in store for me. 48 years later, music is so ingrained in my being that there is no separation from life and music. In fact, for me, life is music.
I hope you can join us at our show at The Royal Room Sunday Feb 4th for joyful sounds and sweet grooves. You can see how far I've come!
Hill, meet the Fool. Enjoy yourselves...

My Jewish Charlie Brown Christmas “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was a one-of-a-kind wonder when it premiered in 1965 and remains so almost 60 years later.
If you don’t IMAGINE it,
it may never happen.

I love the creativity of our audience members…from our 2022 show.
Hello Friends and Fans,
Many of you saw our summer show, BEATLESJUICE, where we took the iconic catalog of The Beatles and rearranged several songs for our trio. The shows we performed at The Royal Room and Whidbey Island Center for the Arts were exciting and filled with emotion, and we had alot of requests for a recording. We are happy to say we did just that and now it is available for digital download or a physical copy.
The best way to get it is directly from me- PM me and I’ll hook you up- and I'll ship it directly to you. They are $20 plus shipping.
The next best way is digital download or physical copies from my bandcamp site:

All details are there and if you need help navigating bandcamp, let me know and I can help you.

Take care everyone and peace and love to you all!~ Jose

We're so excited to present the Jose "Juicy" Gonzales Trio performing Vince Guaraldi's classic album "A Charlie Brown Christmas" live in its entirety on Saturday, December 16th at 1PM and 7PM.
To celebrate this nostalgic Christmas special, we're giving away a few pairs of tickets! Enter by tagging the person (or people) you'd bring to the show with you if you win. Winners will be contacted directly to select their preferred performance time.
One of my favorite cuts on our new album is “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. It starts real mellow and groovy and then crushes into a h***y tonk for the chorus. I remember when we were recording we almost passed it up, but I’m soooo glad we decided to record it. Link to song in comments.
