Jose 'Juicy' Gonzales Trio: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Methow Arts brings A Charlie Brown Christmas, performed by the Jose "Juicy" Gonzales Trio, to the Merc Playhouse.

Join Methow Arts this holiday season as we bring you the Jose "Juicy" Gonzales trio as they perform their holiday hit, Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" live, with Juicy telling stories about the making of the special. For the past 12 years the show has sold out in Seattle.

Rooted in jazz, fueled by the blues, marinated in funk, pianist/singer Jose 'Juicy' Gonzales delivers a rich, dynamic experience. Juicy has performed in Germany, New York, California, Seattle, and Oregon and has been featured on the radio including BBC Radio 2's The Swing & Big Band Show with Clare Teal. His fresh sound is informed by classic jazz of the 50's and 60's including Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis, along with pop icons Elton John, Beatles, Prince and more.

From a very young age Jose Gonzales had a creative curiosity. It all started with the piano where he cultivated a relationship with Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and Joplin, enjoying the sound and feel and especially the energy of the piano. Theater caught his attention in high school and after a summer session studying at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, he was inspired to get his BFA in Acting from Cornish College of the Arts. While immersing himself in Seattle’s theatre scene in the 90’s, Jose began teaching himself jazz, leading to a lifetime of making and sharing music on both coasts and in Europe. His trio has become a Northwest favorite with their memorable performances of Vince Guaraldi’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” for the last 12 years, as well as other performances throughout the year.
