Music, Music ArchiveAlejandro Escovedo in Studio at KUT 12/28/12Austin legend Alejandro Escovedo is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, landmines and blindsides and upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search for ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty.

The Calm Blue Sea @ KUT 11/13/12
The Calm Blue Sea’s lushly textured sound is a study in contrast. The Austin band’s music, like its oceanic name, is at once beautiful and violent, transcendent and triumphant. The idea that their tunes are purely instrumental tunes maybe a turn-off...
