ABOUT THE ARTIST:
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
A celebrated singer and songwriter, Alejandro Escovedo has as eclectic a background and body of work as any rock artist of his generation. His career spans from his time with punk band The Nuns, roots rock band The True Believers, and alt-country group Rank & File. He’s as comfortable with a string ensemble as he is with an amped-up power trio, and as likely to bare his soul in his lyrics as he is to display some rock & roll swagger.
His latest release, Echo Dancing, is a career-spanning collection and bold new turn. Completely reinventing and re-recording his previous work—with inspiration from Brian Eno and Judy Nylon and Suicide—Escovedo traces a one-of-a-kind musical life from ‘70s New York punk to Austin’s “musical conscience and hometown hero” (NPR Alt Latino) to unflinching advocate for musicians’ mental health and immigrant causes.
