Alejandro Escovedo, Singer
 |
World Cafe Live, Sat., Jan. 7, 5:45pm.
On Philadelphia: "I've been coming here since '77, '78. Used to play the Chestnut Cabaret and Dobbs, and we've played the Tin Angel and North Star. Oh, and the Kimmel Center-I played there with Los Lobos. Wow. What a gig that was. I've never played in a room like that anywhere in the world. The acoustics were remarkable, and the audience was so warm. I like Philadelphia a lot. It has a character that's very unique. It's always been like a real tough town, but a good audience. You really have to prove yourself. After this I'm going home to rest and figure out if I made a good album or a bad one. The record comes out April or May."
Alejandro Escovedo, a folk-blues artist, played with the Nuns, Rank and File and the True Believers before launching a solo career in the early '90s.
