Damien

I have so much freaking film to scan....until then...here's a shot of Damien playing at the bottletree.

Sarah

Some musical nomads came through my town and made their lean-to out of The Bottletree for a few hours. Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground blazed an outstanding sonic path for mister Damien Jurado this past Thursday, to the delight, I'd say, to all in the house. Members of (new crush band) Kay Kay backed him as he presented loads of songs from the recently released Saint Bartlett.

The bonus to all this lovely music is that the glorious and talented photographer Sarah Jurado has put on her management pants and came along with the whole crew...AND let me follow her around with a camera. I still have other film to develop but here (above) is one I like from this first roll. More to come (as well as eventually better scans).

Day 278

I'm very happy to say this gentleman has just finished recording a new record. It is yet to be titled but is off to be mastered.

Day 195

Damien Jurado from a while back at Bottletree.

Day 138

Another straggler of Damien.

Day 117

I feel today: Meh.

Day 113

So I had the pleasure last night to see Damien Jurado perform at Bottletree and it was, as I'd expect, a very nice night of music I completely love. Threw in a couple I didn't know which is always nice too.

More to the point, I also was able to take a few portraits of him before the show. Super, super nice and laid back guy. The nice part was he was easy to shoot despite his protests of not being a good model. The important part is he was comfortable in his skin, or at least seemed to be, and just...was.

So, this is my favorite portrait of him. You may see another shot or two of him here, but this is the winningest winner.

Thanks for your time, Damien.

Day 112

More information on this image tomorrow. For now..bed.

This is from today.
