Alejandro Escovedo is an alt.rock singer-songwriter hailing from San Antonio, Texas. Born on October 1, 1951, he has been making waves in the music industry for decades. With a unique blend of rock and folk influences, Escovedo's music captivates audiences with its raw emotion and introspective lyrics.

Escovedo comes from a musical family, being the brother of Pete Escovedo, Coke Escovedo, Mario Escovedo, and Javier Escovedo. He is also the uncle of Sheila E., who is known for her own successful music career.

If you enjoy artists like Chuck Prophet, The Bottle Rockets, or Son Volt, then Alejandro Escovedo's music will surely resonate with you. His powerful vocals and thought-provoking songwriting make him a standout artist in the alt.rock genre.

​Ripe with the enigmas of loss, love, and connections across great distances, Alejandro Escovedo's sixth solo album realizes the promise of his remarkable gifts as singer, songwriter, and arranger. On spiraling tiers of pedal steel, cellos, violins, and electric and acoustic guitars, his chamber-rock vision comes to full fruition. He's never made freer garage pop than "Castanets," never stirred a more sweeping lyricism than in "Don't Need You," and never laid bare more soul than in the heartbreaking "Follow You Down" (a ballad Escovedo often dedicates to Townes Van Zandt). Even more amazing are the pairing of "Wave" and "Rosalie," subtle dramas of the Mexican-American passage through separation and faith, and the swirling, aching "About This Love," which concludes "It's all about the way/We break, to love again." Escovedo has always sought a poetic fusing of sound and image; with A Man Under the Influence, that search is complete.
