Alejandro Escovedo at Aladdin on Friday

This show is going to be one rockin' good time! Alejandro with the Burn Something Beautiful Band ... and The Minus 5, too! 

Beloved Texas troubadour Alejandro Escovedo and The Burn Something Beautiful Band featuring: Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch and Linda Pitmon arrive at the Aladdin Theater on Friday, November 10th! Tickets are on sale now, click here to purchase!

Renowned songwriter, singer, true believer, Alejandro Escovedo released Burn Something Beautiful in October 2016. Escovedo's first solo endeavor since 2012's highly acclaimed Big Station, is in actuality, a highly collaborative affair. Teaming with Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5) to co-write the album's songs, Escovedo also enlisted the pair to act as the project's producers.

 

Escovedo and company take some mighty big swings here. At once a celebration of the rock and roll life, a contemplation on mortality, and the healing power of love, Burn Something Beautiful connects repeatedly with Escovedo's soulful heart and voice at its core. Recorded at Portland's Type Foundry studio, the project coalesced with the help of an esteemed group of musicians who give the album a genuine band feel. They include guitarist Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), drummer John Moen (The Decemberists), vocalists Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Kelly Hogan (Neko Case, The Flat Fie) as well as saxophonist Steve Berlin (Los Lobos).
