Damien Escobar Live in Concert
Born in the Jamaica, Queens, neighborhood in New York City in 1986, Damien Escobar was destined for a life in music from a tender age. He began playing violin at the age of 8 and showed unparalleled talent as a young musician. By age 10, he began taking weekend classes at The Julliard School as the youngest student ever to be accepted. His brother, Tourie Escobar, was similarly gifted, and the two later studied together at the Bloomingdale School of Music in Manhattan. Around 2003, the two brothers started Nuttin' But Strings and excited audiences by blending classical violin with jazz, R&B and hip-hop. Damien and Tourie gained fame playing in New York hotspots like Grand Central Station and later won a talent night at the Apollo Theater in 2005. The brothers gained momentum as they landed a White House performance for George W. Bush, made it to No. 3 on America's Got Talent in 2008 and later performed at the inauguration of former President Barack Obama in 2009. By 2012, Damien had stopped performing with his brother and earned his real estate license. However, it wasn't long before music called to him again, and Damien finally made his solo debut in 2012. According to Damien, "It all needed to fall apart so I could be forced to grow while putting it back together the right way." And he did put it together the right way because Damien went on to release his first solo album, Sensual Melodies, in 2014, followed by Awaken in 2015, Boundless in 2017, and Songs from a Breakthrough in 2020.
Mannn I see Damien every time he comes to Detroit . I cried when he performed awaken this year . I been waiting on him to perform this song for years and never knew the story behind this master piece. The Great Damien Escobar ❤️
Damien Escobar is always amazing and this show was no different!! My husband and I try to make it to see him every time he comes. The only issue we had is that another couple had the exact same tickets we had and I purchased directly from ticketmaster!! A supervisor came to figure things out and was super helpful and professional about repeating us. That made the experience much better. Quite honestly I purchase tickets this way far too often for that to be a worry so I hope that never happens again. Other than that, it was a perfect evening.
Damien, is amazing! His performance was phenomenal.
I have attended every Detroit concert featuring Damien Escobar since 2016 - he is a musical genius. At Aretha Franklin this past week, he entertained and captured the audience with each note. He did less talking which was much appreciated since his music is why we keep showing up. His late appearance on/ stage (9:20) did not take away from what he provided; unselfish notes and stage presence. His ending with Purple Rain always great and always leaves me panting for his next Detroit show!
The show was absolutely amazing. Damien never disappoints. Every show is different with great energy. He’s a great entertainer and his music is chefs kiss!
Everything was great, had a great time no issues at all
Great performances by all. Lengthy and worth your trip and money’s worth. Memorable experience!
Dude is crazy encouraging & positive, I usually hate when instrumental musicians talk a lot. but he was great!
The best male violinist AROUND. Detroit always shows up and shows out for him. He also interacts with the audience. My daughter and I never miss one of his concerts.
It was a wonderful concert!! I really enjoyed it I will always love the concerty
