I couldn’t be prouder of the humans I’m out here on the road with, nor having a better time. I’d expand upon those thoughts, but it is 3:41 am where I’m sitting, and I’ve sworn off 4 am bedtimes for at least the next two days.
No doubt about it though, we’re having a blast....

goodbye national freedom
Good times. The best. Thank you to Sarah & Dan for sharing their talents with this next album. Thank you to the family Swift for being such beautiful humans. Thank you to Damien for letting me be a part of LP10 & of this music in so many ways. I...
Done in 5 days
Well. That’s a bit misleading. Swift & Damien finished an album’s worth of songs in that time. But they’re hardly done. In a way, they’re just warming up for a full month of recording this summer. It’s going to be good. Hard to believe with that schedule that they...
LP10: day one
Yesterday afternoon, Damien officially began his TENTH record. Naturally, in the time it took Shealynn and I to run out and get burgers, he and Swift recorded 5 immaculate tracks of guitar & vocals. Two hours later, 4 more. Their pace is inspiring, as is the end product.

We began our...
preview: notes from home
Last Wednesday, I had the privilege of attending the latest show in the Notes from Home series, curated by Dylan Priest & Tyler Kalberg. Along with Laura Musselman, I was asked to document the evening in photos as they took video & Zach Varnell captured audio. The performers? Colin Reynolds, Damien Jurado,...
fill up the juke
Dolorean. My love for this band is undeniable, and I’m so happy that their latest album is meeting the world on TUESDAY. Yesterday we finally got ‘The Unfazed’ in our hands on vinyl, but I already know this album by heart. Their first tour dates with this record take them to Spain,...
you’re already home where you feel love
Thursday night at Conor Byrne we said goodbye to an era for Seattle’s new sweethearts.
I can remember the first time I heard them, clear as a bell. Damien fell hard right away too; said he’d love to take them on tour someday.
Here’s hoping there’s time for that tour, someday.
That last image is...
church of poetry + hip hop
I don’t think I’m ready to say much about today’s magic. It is the sort of event that takes a while to unpack; the vulnerability of what the artists were sharing, the sense of community, of history, of ritual, of beliefs. I can say that I am honored, floored, that the team that...
take root
Wow.
Such a busy day. Quick snaps of the city of Groningen, Deer Tick, Black Mountain, Musee Mecanique, Damien Jurado, and Iron & Wine. Wish I could’ve seen [and shot] every band all day, but it was a whirlwind. A great one, but a busy one.
Going to enjoy a quiet Sunday night, room...
am klinkenberg
We’re relaxing at the sweetest bed and breakfast right at the German border. I’ve just witnessed the MOST beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t bold or flashy or infused with much color; it was just LIGHT. Misty, glowing, golden light peeking out through trees. I tried to get Damien to...
