With a little help from a friend, Jose began playing acoustic guitar in 2000 crafting his distinctly gripping vocal styling accompanied by his unique approach to music in both standard and alternate tuning (DADDAD). Jose has had the great honor to open for some of the more well known traveling/local singer song-writers in the New England area such as Erin Mckeown, Anais Mitchell, Matthew Santos and, Catie Curtis. "Of Lions And Giants" is the future of what is to come from Jose Docen.
