Damien Jurado’s lead guitarist, Courtney Marie Andrews has been on the road since she was 16 years old, when she left home in Arizona for her first tour. Fast forward a decade or so following stints playing any bars or cafés to being a session and backup singer and guitarist for nearly 40 artists, Courtney has never stopped writing her own material. 

Her song How Quickly Your Heart Mends”is downloadable, with digital pre-orders of Courtney’s new album ‘Honest Life’, which will be coming out on 20th January 2017 via Loose Music.

Courtney explains how the lyrics of “How Quickly Your Heart Mends” are based upon a lady she met whilst working at a small town bar: “During my bartending shifts I had met this woman many times. She is beautiful, but still somehow she searches for love that is a faded red, white and blue. In some ways she is strong for enduring so much heartbreak. In other ways she is naive for believing that love can save her and that it’s hers to own. I’ve always been drawn to the flaws in my characters because that is what makes them more relatable and more human.”
