Damien Jurado @ The Doug Fir - Portland Oregon - 9/8/2007


Few People write better folk songs than Damien Jurado. Sadder than you are, and armed with a voice soaked in disenfranchised down-and-outness and a guitar, Jurado is the guy in high school who was writing Nick Drake songs when your buddies were trying to figure out the melody to Lithium on their Japanese Strats.

The wonderful people at KEXP are broadcasting shows from Musicfest NW – which has now come to a close – for completely free (as always, please support). Jurado plays 4 new songs, and quite frankly I am giddy about them, they might be his best batch yet.

The lineup:
Damien Jurado - Guitar, Vocals
Jenna Conrad - Vocals

[mp3] Damien Jurado - Seams (New Song)
[mp3] Damien Jurado - When I Light Your Door (J. Tilman)
[mp3] Damien Jurado - Abilene
[mp3] Damien Jurado - Put Your Best Dress On (New Song)
[mp3] Damien Jurado - Black Kite (New Song)
[mp3] Damien Jurado - Sheets (New Song)
[mp3] Damien Jurado - Denton, TX
