Damien Jurado comes from Seattle, Washington, with a repertoire of mostly sad songs of sad people in sad places you never want to be stuck in. With a soft folk voice reminiscent of Sam Beam of Iron and Wine and a knack for story-telling like Bob Dylan, the characters of his songs come to life in front of your eyes in a way that makes you feel their pain and see the light at the end of the tunnel that they see.
Not all his songs are depressing. Amidst these sad songs, Jurado has a few simple folk songs that remind you that it’s good to be alive.
Jurado began his solo career in the 1990s, but he was making music in bands before that. He played with the hardcore band Coolidge, alongside David Bazan of Pedro the Lion and Eben Haase of Blenderhead.
