Concert: Alejandro Escovedo, Willie’s

Alejandro Escovedo plays at Willie’s Locally Known at 8 pm on Sunday, May 1.

“It is a journey that has taken him from Texas to California to New York and back again to Texas, encompassing a breadth of music as varied as the many bands he was part of before embarking on a solo career. In the 1970s, he surfaced on San Francisco’s no-holds-barred punk scene centered around the Mabuhay Gardens in North Beach, a guitarist in the Nuns; Rank & File helped unite the disparate worlds of punk and country in the 1980s; and after he moved back to Austin, the True Believers combined all manner of Americana music in a harbinger of what was to come in Alejandro’s solo career which begun in 1992 with the album Gravity.

Since the acclaimed “Street Songs of Love” Alejandro has released a Best of collection and 2012’s “Big Station”.”
