Alejandro Escovedo (born January 10, 1951, in San Antonio, Texas) is an American musician. His parents emigrated to Texas from Mexico.[1] Escovedo is from a very musical family that has generated several professional musicians, including his brothers Coke Escovedo and Pete Escovedo, both percussionists, and longtime Prince collaborator Sheila E (who is Pete’s daughter and Alejandro’s niece). Escovedo began performing in the first-wave punk rock group The Nuns, with Delphine Neid, Jennifer Miro, and Jeff Olener, in San Francisco, California. After Escovedo’s departure, The Nuns recorded an album on Posh Boy Records, but had little commercial success.
In the 1980s Escovedo moved to Austin, Texas, where he adapted a roots rock/alternative country style in the bands Rank and File (with Chip and Tony Kinman) and the True Believers (with his brother Javier and Jon Dee Graham). However, it was with the release of his first solo albums, «Gravity» in 1992 and «Thirteen Years» in 1994, and on through his sixth album, A Man Under the Influence (produced in 2001), that he found his true voice. Although he has yet to crossover to any type of mainstream audience, he has a huge underground following, and many popular artists cite Escovedo as a strong influence. In 1998 No Depression magazine named him Artist of the Decade.[2][3] Alejandro was also involved in a side project that represents his hard rocking tastes. Buick MacKane released an album in 1997 «The Pawn Shop Years», hearkening back to his musical roots from the 70’s.
