Musically, Alejandro Escovedo is in his own genre, notes David Fricke in Rolling Stone. High words of praise indeed, especially at a time when most popular music is boxed into styles and rife with references, influences and antecedents. Escovedo may possess a miles wide palette of music that he has absorbed and draws from, yet his own sound defies categorization and transcends boundaries. He is also a consummate storyteller who is held in the highest esteem by his peers, one of who describes him as a poet of the ordinary event. Escovedo's music can range from full force rock'n'roll to the subtle delicacy heard from a string quartet, sometimes in the same song. Fricke describes him well as a folk-blues classicist with a gritty, plaintive voice and an equal fondness for dirty boogie and spectral balladry. That approach has distinguished Escovedo as one of contemporary music's truly original and unique artists, earning him consistent critical hosannas. The Coveters is a supergroup of Austin artists that includes some combination Warren Hood, Suzanna Choffel, Ed Jurdi, Michael Kingcaid, Dan Dyer, Wayne Sutton, Brad Houser, and Jeff Botta. The band was recently featured at the Austin Music People Launch Party & Concert Series: Blue October, Ghostland Observatory, Bright Light Social Hour & More! Austin Music People Launch Party & Concert Series at ACL Live, and called a must-see by the Austin Daze.
