The Rooftop Films series is by far one of my favorite summertime activities.  I’m super excited for the screening of the documentary,”The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of José González” on Sunday, June 19th.  He’s one of my favorite musicians and you’re not familiar with his work – get ready to learn about him!

“Swedish-Argentine singer José González has played for hundreds of thousands of people across five continents. His cover of the song Heartbeats has graced the soundtracks of countless teen TV dramas. His enchanting, powerfully personal recordings have received nearly unanimous praise from critics and more than a million copies of his albums have sold worldwide–which is particularly impressive given that there are only nine million people in all of Sweden. Despite all this, Jose Gonzalez is not a typical famous musician, and so when Mikel Cee Karlsson and Frederik Egerstrand began to film him as he prepared to record his sophomore album, they knew that they did not want to create a typical rock star biopic. Filmmaker Mikel Cee Karlsson from Sweden will be at the show in person to answer for a Q&A after the film.” (via Rooftop Films)

In addition to the documentary screening, the event will also feature a live performance by José too!  Below is José’s video for  his song “Crosses”.

We highly recommend you come out to this screening!
