Damien Jurado is a singer-songwriter in the indie-rock tradition of Seattle, Washington. His music is regarded as being heavily influenced by folk music. Over the years he has released albums on many labels; today his primary label is Secretly Canadian. He was once in the hardcore band Coolidge with Seattle’s David Bazan, who formerly fronted the bands Pedro the Lion and HEADPHONES and now performs as a solo artist. He was also an early member of Raft of Dead Monkeys. He teaches kindergarten.
He often makes use of found sound and field recording techniques, and has experimented with different forms of tape recordings. In 2000 he released Postcards and Audio Letters, a collection of found audio letters and fragments that he had found from sources such as thrift store tape players and answering machines. Also released in 2000 was Ghost of David,, Jurado’s bleakest and most personal sounding record to date. I Break Chairs, (2002) was produced by long time friend, David Bazan. It was his last album for Sub Pop, and was a much rockier, electric affair. After signing for the Indiana-based label Secretly Canadian, Damien Jurado reverted to his trademark folk ballad-based style, releasing four more albums: Where Shall You Take Me?, (2003), On My Way to Absence,, (2005) And Now That I’m In Your Shadow, (2006) and Caught In The Trees, (2008).
The other two components of the band are Eric Fisher and Jenna Conrad

New album due out in May. Damien played 3 new songs at the London gig and they were promisingly beautiful. Btw. the gig was fabulous too, of course, with an added surprise of Damien's rendition of "Severance", originally by Dead Can Dance. Can't wait till May.

I hope you read this Mr. Jurado. Your show in Paris was great. Really loved it. My favorite was Killer(s). Please return to Paris, so I can hear you play that song again, as I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks for the show.

you go through friends like a radio dial tune... finding the perfect voice but forgetting the song... friends never last... they are just ears you sing into.
