Texas Legend Singer/Songwriter Alejandro Escovedo Kicks 13-Date Tour in May

Newly signed to Yep Roc Records, and currently working on his label debut, Texas singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo will embark on a 13-date tour run throughout May and June. Kicking off May 2, at the opening of Coney Island Baby in New York City, the show will be the first of five nights with his band during the month of May.

Featuring Lenny Kaye on May 9, Richard Barone on May 23, and all-star cast on May 30, plus a different support each night on the band shows. In between the NYC residency, Escovedo will perform rare, solo acoustic dates. A full list of dates is below.

With 10 solo studio albums throughout his illustrious career, Alejandro Escovedo has a rich musical history and future. In a trailblazing career that began with The Nuns, San Francisco's famed punk innovators in the mid '70s, to the Austin-based-based alt-country rock pioneers, Rank & File, to Texas bred darlings, True Believers, through countless all-star collaborations and tribute album appearances and a series of beloved solo albums beginning with 1992's acclaimed Gravity, Escovedo has earned a surplus of distinctions, including No Depression magazine's Artist of the Decade Award in 1998, and the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award for Performing in 2006. Previously produced by John Cale, Tony Visconti, and most recently Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey on his last album Burn Something Beautiful, Yep Roc will release his 12th studio album in 2018.
