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.

by Marsee on 5/18/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5This was my first time seeing DE in person. It was well worth the 2+ hour trip in rush hour traffic! His energy, his talent, the way he engages with the audience.... I'll see him each and every time he comes to the area!!!

A Fantastic Concert
by Tee on 5/18/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5Damien was energized and energizing. As always, his performance was top-notch. His warm personality came through when he spoke between songs -- he is truly a kind person, in addition to being a great musician. He was appreciative of the audience, and that means a lot. Great backup on keyboard, bass, and drums. Not my first time to see him and won't be the last.
Awesome
by Twin on 5/18/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5The show was amazing. Not only is he a great violinist but he’s a great person. The show was worth every penny and I can’t wait to see him again.
Nice...but
by HushPuppy on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5Damein Escobar at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA gave a wonderful concert. I would most certainly attend another in the future. The "but" portion of the review is as follows: 1. Had tickets transferred to me due to a friend cancellation, but the ticketmaster ticket transfer process caused confusion at the Birchmere ticket window. Birchmere staff were able to work out the issue. 2. The stage lighting was poor. There were many times when Damein was not visible.
Just Awesome
by Taffy on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5First time seeing him but it won’t be the last! The Birchmere was the perfect venue for his show. I’m already planning to see him upon his next trip to the D-M-V! The band was amazing as well. Great show all around!
PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE!!
by Elaine S. on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5THIS WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER ATTENDED!! I loved his raw talent, personality, professionalism, and gave pearls of wisdom that touched everyone!! He was very personable and even came out in the crowd, signed autographs and took pictures! I have never met a more humble musician in my life! I was already a fan but now I'm a SUPERFAN!! We love you Damien!!
Awesome Entertainer
by ChereeAmor on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5Damien is a dynamic violinist whose mysic pulls your heart strings! I will continue to see him anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Unfortunately, my ticketing experience was not good. The three of us bought tickets with absolutely no communication that they were VIP tickets as they were the only tickets we could see available & we bought way early in February. We lost the opportunity to receive the benefits we purchased unknowingly☹️. In addition, one hard copy ticket was mailed to one person but not the others. The venue was unable to determine VIP from a digital ticket. But Damien? Absolutely Awesome! Love him!

Stimulating
by TeeBee on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5His performance stimulates you. From his mesmerizing songs to his words of wisdom, you felt his energy throughout the show. And he ended the show with the perfect song “Am I Wrong”!

OK
by m. s. on 5/17/19Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 3 out of 5The first time I saw Damien in Washington, DC he was on Fire. He didn't seem to have his zest this time. It's a "it was ok" for me.
