It's really late….no, it's really early.  It doesn't matter WHAT time it is, because while you are on here desperately searching for that girl who served you at Jamba Juice, Alejandro Escovedo is conquering the world.  Unless you live in Austin, TX, there is a very good chance that you have never heard the name of this singer, songwriter, guitarist who has been rocking, recording and touring for over three decades.  If that is the case, you are not alone…but not for long!  On June 24^th, Alejandro released his ninth solo record, "Real Animal", and music lovers, music critics and the mainstream media have all taken notice.  It's about time!  Escovedo's recorded legacy started in the 70's with California  punk band, The Nuns.  He moved on to play in groups such as Rank and File, and True Believers, featuring fellow Austinite Jon Dee Graham.  Since the early 90's, he has offered up a generous legacy of solo recordings that have earned him a loyal worldwide following…with a voracious appetite for MORE! 

The release of "Real Animal" has forced the eyes of the media wide open.  In the past month, he has been making the scene on the late night talk show circuit as well as "The Today Show".  Earlier in the year, he joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in Houston, TX for a version of Escovedo's new song, "Always A Friend".  Here in Austin, Alejandro has recently played a series of sold out shows at the Continental Club, a jam-packed in-store performance at Waterloo Records and headlined the Keep Austin Weird Festival. 

Alejandro Escovedo's story is a lengthy one….full of ups, downs and an endless trail of some amazing music!  Check out his profile.  Learn his story.  Hear his songs.  Check out that long list of tour dates, and GO SEE HIM!   One of the best live shows you will ever see…GUARANTEED!
