Review: WAR HORSE IN CONCERT at Century II Concert Hall
by Paula Makar - Nov 3, 2024

As I sat in the audience, waiting for the performance of War Horse In Concert, a Pops presentation for the Wichita Symphony, I overhead several audience members discussing their expectations for what they were about to experience. “Is this a play?”  “It looks like there are narrators!” “Is this different from a regular concert?” Most “In Concert” performances are based on well known musicals, but War Horse In Concert is based on War Horse Suite 2022, a symphonic work derived from the score of the play with the same name. The play is based on the original story written by Michael Morpurgo. War Horse: The Story in Concert premiered at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2016, with music composed by Adrian Sutton, and the narration was adapted from the play script written in 1982 by Nick Stafford. The performance consisted of a very simple staged version of the piece, with multiple actors playing multiple roles, supplying dialogue at the important points in the story. There was also a main singer and a chorus to help convey the emotions that the spoken word can fail to supply. This allows the orchestra to feature the score so the story to be told by both the music and the word. A concert version is usually a scaled down production, sans sets, props, elaborate costumes, and in the case of War Horse, the puppets used to portray the horses. The audience is asked to use their imaginations, and their mind’s eye, to fill in the remainder of the story.

Damien Jurado's IN THE SHAPE OF A STORM Out Today On Mama Bird Recording Co.
by Tori Hartshorn - Apr 12, 2019

Damien Jurado has released his new album, In the Shape of a Storm, on Mama Bird Recording Co. today following a sold-out release show at Portland's Revolution Hall. Jurado is about to embark on his album release tour, which includes a Northeast run with Anna St. Louis, before heading through the South, and making an appearance at Pickathon this summer. Aquarium Drunkard featured Jurado's 14th album, and first for Mama Bird Recording Co., alongside an evocative essay by Jason Woodbury on In the Shape of a Storm earlier this week. Josh Terry and Jurado spoke, ostensibly, about a handful of songs from Jurado's decades-long career for Vinyl, Me Please; the conversation twists and turns but Jurado's focus rests heavily on the effect his late friend, and producer, Richard Swift has, and continues to have, on him. The album's release follows closely on the heels of the third single, the beautifully sentimental 'Throw Me Now Your Arms'. More upbeat than the previous two singles, the song paints a picture of love, support and healthy devotion. A stunning piece, it was preceded by the first single 'South', where Jurado is able to “wrangle every ounce of emotion” out of the stark, stunning simplicity of his voice and acoustic guitar.' (Stereogum) “South” was followed by the opening track from the new album, an unearthed two decade-old song, 'Lincoln', which had been slated for Juado's third record but lost in a freak chance of a technical glitch, only to be re-discovered and re-recorded for In the Shape of a Storm.

Damien Jurado Shares New Song LINCOLN From IN THE SHAPE OF A STORM Out 4/12
by Tori Hartshorn - Feb 25, 2019

Following the announcement of his new album, In the Shape of a Storm out on Mama Bird Recording Co. April 12th, and the first new song 'South', Damien Jurado today shares the opening track from his new album unearthing a two decade-old track, “Lincoln”, which had been slated for his third record. Jurado shares the genesis of the track saying '“Lincoln”, written in 1998, was originally slated for my third album not yet titled, Ghost of David. I had 13 songs recorded for the album onto a newly purchased digital 8-track machine. And, when the day came to mix the finished album, an error done on my part was made, erasing everything. Now under a deadline with the label to turn in a new album, I came up with the bright idea to scrap every song I had written for the album, and start a new. All original material was written, and then recorded in a period of less than a week for Ghost of David.  Years later, I would come across the only recorded demo I had made for the original album on a cassette. This song was “Lincoln”. Over the years I considered “Lincoln” for many of my albums, but the song just couldn't find the proper place to land. That was until I went in to record my latest album, In the Shape of a Storm. It felt not only fitting to put it on the record, but to have it be the opening song.'

Damien Jurado Announces New Album 'In the Shape of a Storm'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Feb 11, 2019

Damien Jurado is announcing his new album, In the Shape of a Storm, on Mama Bird Recording Co. April 12th today alongside a new, stunningly sparse track 'South'. Jurado's career has seen many iterations and his newest album is no less profound than any previous work, but the stark acoustic arrangements allow Jurado's every emotional vocal shift to be magnified. The stories here are deeply felt and vividly rendered. They're not leading you through but letting you come to your own conclusions, as Jurado says, ''South', like most songs that I write, is a collage of sorts, or collection of snapshots, that center around two characters. One could even presume me, or me as an alternate self. Dark, isolated, and slightly menacing in tone for a waltz number.'
