    Set List:
    "Cloudy Shoes"
    "Newspaper Gown"
    "Arkansas"
    "Beacon Hill"

    I saw damien at the casbah in san diego. I was the only one there. There were some drunk marines at the bar making noise and one of them got sick at the bar so out they went. I sat in the middle of the floor and he asked me what I wanted to hear and I told him just play circus. strange it was a sunday night. that will never happen again

      I’ve seen him four or five times now. Every show has been one of the best I’ve seen. Rocky votolato joining him on stage playing harmonica on Ohio or him talking to my at the time three year old about what he was going to be for Halloween. I love Damien, what a wonderful human.

      One of Sharon Van Etten"s band mates suggested him on "what's in my bag" from the record store. Never heard of him either. Kinda reminds me of a young John Prine lil bit. Wonderful.

    I saw Damien Jurado with Mewithoutyou about 5 years ago at the Musica in akron. It was my first time even hearing of him. After his performance, i went right over to his merch table and bought two of his cd's. His songs make me feel more at home with my self, and i gain more perspective on our world and humans.

      Table Top Joe I saw him on that album’s tour. Unwed Sailor and Pedro the Lion opened for him, and all three bands had the same members (apart from Damien, who only performed during his own set). It was an amazing show, and it was very cool getting to see David Bazan reunite with his former bandmates, Jonathon Ford and Damien Jurado.

    It's astounding to realize so much later than this recording of tiny desk that Damien was close friends to Richard Swift, the same Richard Swift Nathaniel Rateliff wrote "And it's still alright" for when he passed. It never dawned on me that Richard influenced two of my favourite artists who could very well not even know of eachothers existence...

  • @joelpound5010

    Sometimes we over decorate our houses trying to make a home, but love always prefer the simpler ways. I don't know how long I'd been listening to Damien before I was conscious of him. I cycle through so much music, especial when I'm writing or wanting to write. That's how he came into my path. I became conscious of just in the last few days watching the Last of Us and losing myself into the soundtrack. He is so good.

I'd been listening to the soundtrack 'Searching for Sugar Man' by Sixto Rodriguez in my car a lot, and when I first heard QACHINA i was bowled over. as it seemed to come from the same bubble if you like. So now I'm catching up on more of DJ's back catalogue, and this stay at home recording is just ace amigos...
