Alejandro Escovedo Bio
Alejandro Escovedo, born on January 10th, 1951 in San Antonio, Texas is a Mexican-American rock musician, singer, and songwriter that began playing in the early 1990s. Alejandro comes from a family of professional musicians. He began performing in the punk rock group the Nuns in 1975. After moving to California with his family, he was exposed to the music of Jimi Hendrix, Buffalo Springfield, the Doors, the Seeds and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
In 1981 Alejandro joined the punk band Rank and File. The group released three albums on, two of them coming on the well know label Slash Records. The released albums are entitled Sundown (1982), Long Gone Dead (1984), and Rank and File (1987). At the same time Alejandro was also an active member of the rock band True Believers, a band that he started with his brother Javier Escovedo. The brothers released two albums together: True Believers in 1986 and Hard Road in 1994.
Alejandro even found some time to record as a solo artist. He released his solo debut album in 1992 entitled Gravity. Two years later he followed up with the album Thirteen Years. With the backing of another band called the Alejandro String Quartet, he released 13 more albums up to 2016, with Burn Something Beautiful being his latest effort.
