Alejandro Escovedo is a roots rock\/alternative country singer\/songwriter from\u00a0Austin,\u00a0Texas.\u00a0He\u00a0began a career in the early 1980\u2019s that spans 14 albums, thousands of live shows and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road forging an identity that\u00a0is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, it’s land mines, blindsides, upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search of ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely contained rage, the rock of punk amid kneeled feedback; sometimes it caresses and soothes, a whispery harmony riding the air of a nightclub room, removed from amplification, within the audience.\u00a0Alejandro has worked his musical magic a number of times at the\u00a0Jersey\u00a0Shore, at the legendary Stone Pony, at the Count Basie Theatre and at the Paramount Theater headlining the Light of Day Festival in\u00a0Asbury Park\u00a0where he was joined by his friends Willie Nile, Joe Grushecky, Jesse Malin and Bruce Springsteen.\u00a0Nationally syndicated radio shows such as\u00a0Little Steven Van Zandt’s\u00a0Underground Garage\u00a0continue to give prominent attention to Escovedo and his music, continuing to play songs such as \u00a0“Silver Cloud” from his 2010 album Street Songs of Love as well as music from his most recent record 2012’s Big Station.\u00a0His family boasts several professional musicians including his niece, drummer\/percussionist Sheila E.\u00a0 With Special Guest Amy Cook.<\/p>\n
