Alejandro Escovedo

The Alejandro Escovedo Band headlines the Think About the Link Tour, in partnership with the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Alejandro’s stellar special guest band features Stamey, who serves as music director and has done entirely new arrangements for A Man Under the Influence. Rounding out the band are players who appeared on the recording:  iconic producer Mitch Easter (R.E.M) and frontman of Let’s Active, who played on the 2001 recording; noted pedal steel and electric guitarist Eric Heywood (The Pretenders, Tift Merritt); long-time Escovedo drummer Hector Muno, and newcomer, Texan Mike Luzecky on bass. Strings, horns and vocals and special guests in each in city. The mission of the Think About the Link tour is to raise awareness of the Foundation’s educational campaign about the connection between certain viruses and cancer – of which Escovedo is a spokesperson. As a Hepatitis C survivor, Alejandro hopes to raise awareness about the link between Hepatitis C and liver cancer.
