Alejandro Escovedo Tickets

In 1998 was considered Alejandro the most important artist of the nineties. Not exaggerating. The singer and guitarist of San Antonio (Texas) is a true legend of rock and roll, and his latest, Big station, published this year, returns to show in a state of enviable shape. Alejandro is a rock and roll musician. It is universal. Ritchie Valens was a rock and roll writer, and so I consider myself. I was never interested be defined by my culture. I like being free to move in different directions. My family has always been marked by music, all my brothers play latin jazz and salsa, and I went for rock and roll. It is the style that I've always loved above any other.Alejandro was born in 1951, and rock and roll was constantly on the radio. Dolores grew up with my cousin and we loved hearing Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, The Big Bopper, Jerry Lee Lewis ... was the first thing I heard as a child. And I became addicted. Soon after, when I was 16, we went to Texas to California, and there I could see great bands like Love, Buffalo Springfield, The Doors, The Stooges, MC5 ... I fell surrendered to all of them. And in the seventies English discovered rock: The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things ... Many people often ask me how I define my music, and tell them that is the product of a huge record collection, which also includes that was my big brother.
