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.

Music/talent in the shadow of noise.hype
by LovesMusicJ on 7/8/17Chene Park - DetroitRating: 3 out of 5I was so looking forward to this concert. The venue was beautiful...the crowd friendly and excited. Starting with the opening act, Marcus Anderson...it was ear splitting. The main performer was competing with the back up band. When Damien Escobar started to play, I HOPED I could enjoy his music as much as I did when I listened/watched him on Youtube. But, again, not really music...the volume degraded the music and it became "noise" that hurt our ears. We drove 2 hrs to attend and 4 of us were so disappointed. What prize is there for being the loudest? Why not allow the MUSIC to be heard and dignity claimed for the beauty. Also was sad to see Damien drinking as part of his act. Let it go. Didn't need to do that. It showed a misunderstanding of the sadness/trauma that drugs and alcohol have caused both among performers and in our society in general. I was hoping for so much more. Would have rather have stayed home and bought CD's.
Damien Escobar and Marcus Anderson was amazing!!!!
