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?

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!

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,

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:
https://josegonzalestrio.bandcamp.com/album/jose-gonzales-trio-play-the-music-of-the-beatles
All details are there and if you need help navigating bandcamp, let me know and I can help you.
Thank you so much for your support and love. For those of you who attended our Charlie Brown performances this year, THANK YOU- we had a blast! One more tomorrow at Bellingham (sold out) and then...put Sunday Feb 4th on your calendar for a great show at THE ROYAL ROOM. More details to come.
Take care everyone and peace and love to you all!~ Jose

Another track I really dig on our new album, Jose Gonzales Trio plays the Beatles, is "The Long and Winding Road". I've always loved this song- a great melody, nice chord changes, a lovely bridge. Check out the track in the comments...

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.
