Returning to Australia for Vivid LIVE in 2023, master singer-songwriter José González celebrated the 20th anniversary of the album that launched him, 2003’s indie folk classic, Veneer. A sublime take on the singer-songwriter sound, Veneer is more than just a classic of introspective folk pop – it’s become part of the fabric of modern life. To celebrate the anniversary of his breakthrough record, the virtuoso guitarist returned to the Sydney Opera House for three Australian exclusive solo shows, performing the songs from Veneer – and more than a few other classics.
