Damien Jurado/Maraqopa

I had never heard of this gem of a singer song writer until just a few weeks ago.
Damien Jurado's new album Maraqopa is FANTASTIC! This is my favorite album of 2012.
Check him out on Spotify if you like. He has a few very nice albums.
Damien sounds fantastic with just him singing with acoustic guitar. Many of you may perfer his music this way.
see his album "Live at Landlocked" This live album is very well recorded too. He is out touring behind Maraqopa.
Here is a 3 song sample from Maraqopa.

Damien is a local artist...the release party for Maraqopa was at the Neptune.

If you like Maraqopa definitely get St. Bartlett which was one of the top 2010 releases.

One of the best singer-songwriters out there.

I am in the Seattle area. I've never Damien live...a series of mishaps (i.e. work obligations) every time I've wanted to see him in concert.

Here's a video of an acoustic version of one of my favorites "Cloudy Shoes"
