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.

This is Alejandro Escovedo's critically acclaimed album, The Crossing, with the vocals recorded in Spanish. With the lyrics translated into and sung in Spanish, the concept album which tells the story of two young immigrants to the US, who bond over a mutual love of punk rock as they struggle with the racism and discrimination as immigrants, becomes an even more intimate experience. It features guest vocalists, as well as Alejandro singing all of the songs from The Crossing in Spanish. Vocalists on the album include Alex Ruiz (Chingon), Patricia Vonne, Vanessa Del Fierro and Alejandro Escovedo. Tracks like, 'Algo Azul,' ('Something Blue') 'Sónica USA' 'Bandido Para Ti' ('Outlaw For You') really shine here.
