KEXP 90.3 FM - where the music matters

Growing up in a home full of musicians, including two percussionists for Santana, helped shape the music of Alejandro Escovedo – part country, part rock and roll, part punk. Blending honesty with his unusually compelling instrumentation and gorgeous melodies creates his signature sound. Escovedo has been hailed, here and abroad, as a songwriter who is artful and original and composes from the heartbeat of everyday life. His live performances are both rockin’ and expressive. - J.
