Alejandro Escovedo
Few contemporary artists inspire the degree of rapturous critical praise, without the accompanying fame and fortune, as Alejandro Escovedo. His journey to legend has taken him from Texas to California to New York and back to Texas, encompassing a breadth of musical styles. In the 1970s, he surfaced on San Francisco’s punk scene as a guitarist in the Nuns; Rank & File helped unite the worlds of punk and country in the 1980s; and the True Believers combined all manner of Americana music in a harbinger of what was to come in Alejandro’s solo career which begun in 1992 with the album Gravity.
The eclectic, imaginative songwriter and his extraordinary band perform songs from The Boxing Mirror, praised by Billboard as “a masterwork from one of the genuine lights in rock music.”
