Emily Barker warmed the crowd up with a big plate of alt-country with a side of folk for good measure. I didn’t find Emily all that captivating, but that probably had a lot to do with the fact that I was pretty pumped to see José González. Personally I think Emily Barker’s music would serve as a good soundtrack as background music to quiet Sunday session (at the pub) in the mid-afternoon. The music is there to allow everyone to relax and reflect with friends on the week past.

José González
It was simply astonishing to see the raw talent of this amazing musician in person. His technique with the guitar was so refined that it looked RSI inducing. I probably have never been so captivated by one musician before. What was a 75 minute set felt like only 30 minutes the time just flew by. This is a bittersweet thing. Good, as it is proof that it was indeed a captivating and highly enjoyable set to witness. Bad, as it seemed to be all over way too soon. If you want to see an absolutely captivating and thoroughly entertaining acoustic musician, you must see José González.
