Story by Andrea Jenels The band immediately rolled into the upbeat "Friend to Me," which got the crowd out of their seats and enthusiastically cheering and singing along with the buoyant pop tune. The band transitioned into each song thereafter without much interaction with the crowd. Escovedo touched on material from both past and present albums, viscerally painting a picture of the glory and the disdain he has felt throughout his long-standing career. The night was somewhat of an intimate portrait of Alejandro's life and career. His stage presence undoubtedly captured the attention of the crowd and proved that he is one of the most sincere performers to be fully realized in the past decade. |
