Damien Jurado

American indie/folk singer/songwriter and guitarist. His solo career began during the mid-1990s, releasing lo-fi folk based recordings on his own cassette-only label, undefined. Gaining a local cult following in Seattle, he was brought to the attention of Sub Pop Records by Sunny Day Real Estate singer Jeremy Enigk.

His musical career is marked by periods of close collaboration with various musicians.
- Until about "I break chairs" his work was closely linked to Pedro The Lion and David Bazan.
- From then until "Caught In The Trees", Eric Fischer became his companion as a musician and producer, forming the band "Damien Jurado" with Fisher and Jenna Conrad on "Now That I'm In Your Shadow" and "Caught In The Trees".
- The most significant change in sound came when he met the late Richard Swift, with whom he collaborated from "St. Bartlett" to "Visions Of Us On The Land."
- From "The Horizon Just Laughed" to "Sometimes You Hurt The Ones You Hate", Josh Gordon has been his new musical partner.
- Since ‘Motorcylce Madness’, his work has been closely associated with musician/producer Sean Walcott and a changing line-up of musicians, most notably Lacey Brown and other musicians from Walcott's circle. In 2024, this resulted in his new backing band ‘The Everett Assembly’.

Other frequent contributors were the members of Gathered In Song, Rosie Thomas and Casey Foubert.

His full-length albums have been released on undefined, undefined, undefined and undefined. In 2021 he founded Maraqopa Records. From 2004 to 2007 he also co-ran undefined.

In the summer of 2024, he co-founded undefined, a mobile recording studio, with Lacey Brown.
