With his recent Visions of Us on the Land, Seattle-based singer-songwriter Damien Jurado completed a loose trilogy of records, which includes 2012's Maraqopa and 2014's Brothers and Sisters Of The Eternal Son. Throughout the series, Jurado plays a character who goes on a journey of self-examination — one that doesn’t always make sense. But fans of Jurado are willing to go along with him. "The album is an album; it's a complete work of art. I have no desire to create what I've done on a record in a live setting," he told the Inlander in a 2014 interview. And for his upcoming Bartlett show this Friday, Jurado will play whatever he wants. It’s going to be him with his guitar, baring a part of his soul that we may not even understand.
