Damien Escobar on Tour
World-renowned violinist, author and philanthropist Damien Escobar brings a lifetime of musical talent to the stage in 2022 on his Life Out Loud Tour. He's dazzled audiences worldwide, starting at age 8 as a student at The Julliard School, then as a street musician in New York's Grand Central Station and other locales, all the way to his performance at the inauguration of former President Barack Obama. And now, fans can snag tickets to see this two-time Emmy Award winner and violin virtuoso play his signature blend of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and classical at venues across the United States.
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.
Damien Escobar always delivers!!! His show was awesome.
We had a wonderful time, the music was phenomenal and Damien Escobar did not disappoint we definitely will see him live again!
A day with Damien was the best time spentin music. I felt his show was better than last year. He shared that he was ill this past January and he was grateful for being alive. You could feel this through his music that he was celebrating music. We were celebrating right with him. I am truly happy I was there. A magnificent show!
Awesome experienceEverything about the show was just awesome
Damien's was awesome, the venue was to small and no air conditioning.
Damien Escobar performance was sensational - affecting senses and beyond! The pure notes, emotional bonding - this artist put his heart and spirit in every rendition. We drove three hours for this concert and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be back in Dallas at HOB when he returns. It was worth the drive, parking, and hotel stay. Damien Escobar fan!
I saw the show at the Birchmere in Va a few ago. I think Damien was very interactive with the crowd. He plays beautiful and it’s amazing to watch. I went with a group and would definitely go see him again.
My day in NY began with morning shopping followed with a ride on top of the city bus tour, then culminating with a most captivating, energizing, exhilarating, heartfelt performance from Damien Escobar. It was all that I had hoped for and more. I truly felt over-the-top when my girlfriend who did not know him left the show with such love for him to carry forward. She thoroughly enjoyed his performance. The venue, Sony Hall added to our immense good times as it enveloped a nostalgic warmth atmosphere.
The show was fabulous! Looking forward to seeing Damian Escobar again. The venue was lovely! I will definitely come again to Sony Hall! Everyone was very accommodating. Next time I will also eat here. The food looked great. Drinks were expensive but it is NYC so we expected that. Terrific experience.
My first experience at the Birchmere. It was great. Easy to find and it has parking. Great organization to find seating and beautiful decor. Great food, love the seating arrangement around tables. Did I mention the excellent menu choices and good service? And then Damien Escobar. What a great artist. When I bought the tickets, I was doubtful, whether I wanted to listen to a full program of violin music. I loved every minute of it and I will buy tickets again. A wonderful performance of Damien and his fellow musicians. Thank you
Love Damien’s music and he gives an amazing show, but the base was so high that it made for a physically uncomfortable experience. It vibrated my body, pierced my ears and it took away from Damien’s beautiful music.
Had a GREAT time. Surprised the family and they were overwhelmed. I was told, when Damien’s back in NYC we must do this again! Damien puts on a spectacular show!
The performance, ambiance of Sony and food was Excellent. The only problem was the seating was really tight. We needed a little more room.
I loved Damien Escobar every time he comes to New York I will be there! Next time I need VIP tickets! He made NY the place to be that Saturday night! Thank you Damien for loving your fans sharing your life experiences with us! You set a challenge that night which is to show love to family friends strangers etc I’m all in!
I took my 9-year-old daughter to see Damien Escobar to give her a little exposure to beautiful music and amazing talent. And Damien really delivered on that!!!! What an incredible experience! The venue was super cool, we sat at an elevated table which was really nice and gave us the perfect view of the stage, we met a bunch of really nice people, and Damien put on an EXCELLENT show!! I was completely impressed and to see the huge smile on my daughter’s face when he played “Am I Wrong?” by Nico and Vinz was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be checking him out again on his next tour. Can’t wait!
This was the first time seeing Damien in person. He was fabulous. I would recommend everyone who has a love for jazz and has a flair for violinist he is definitely a must see in person. He really gets into his music and is very intimate with his audience. I must say I Love You his performance.
Simply Amazing! Can’t wait to see Damien Escobar live in concert soon🎻
This was my first time seeing Damien Escobar in person. He was incredible! A master musician, a spiritual guide of sorts and an extraordinary showman. I absolutely loved the show and I will see him again and again!
I've been a long time fan of Damien Escobar's artistry, but this concert was my first time experiencing him live and he fully delivered! His talent is simply phenomenal; his vibe was uplifting and positive; his audience engagement was superb; and the entire show was pure joy (particularly since it was held on a weekday evening which can be challenging to manage in the DMV between work schedules and traffic). I'm a fan for life and will definitely look for opportunities to check him out live in the future!
Damien Escobar is Maestro with a violin 🎻🎻. This is my 2nd time seeing him and I was blown away again by his musical genius. I would definitely go and see him again.😍😍
