News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
Fresh from his Democratic National Convention star turn last week, Alejandro Escovedo is getting his tour back into high gear -- including the choice network-television exposure he missed out on last month due to health issues. Escovedo's upcoming itinerary includes next Thursday, Sept. 11, on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," which will be a perfect primer for his Oct. 23 show at Cat's Cradle.
Catch both, so I can stop harranguing you.

He is dynamic LIVE and I have seen him many times.
He takes risks in the music he puts out, always challenging us and himself.
Nobody can rock out as hard as he, yet he caresses a ballad like noone else can, I am in awe always.
Hope to catch him on Leno and am envious you get to see him at Cat's Cradle in October.
I do
