Ben Gibbard and Damien Jurado

“Gibbard and Jurado” sounds a bit like a law firm that advertises on late-night TV, but local music lovers know this duo is actually a dream double bill of two phenomenal Northwest singer-songwriters. Jurado’s latest album (Maraqopa) showcases more pop than his previous releases, and Death Cab for Cutie front man Gibbard’s October solo debut (Former Lives) has a ’90s rock vibe. Bonus: Show your local cred by identifying the local landmarks called out on both albums.
