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 gives an awesome show and it was way more than expected! I surprised a friend of mine with the show as well and she enjoyed it thoroughly too! We both left thirsty for more! Not only is he "hot" but he just gives a great show! So glad I was able to see him!
Damien Escobar is an exceptional artist. The music and atmosphere was amazing. My favorite moment when he played Call Tyrone and some of the songs off the Boundless album. This show was definitely worth the flight.
I loved this show. Damien is quite the talented violinist with lightning fast fingers. The band was tight too! Great sound for 4 pieces counting Damien! If I had one complaint, it was that the sound man could have done a better job. I would have preferred to have Damien's violin a little louder. There were some instances where the soundman didn't turn up the violin sound until a few bars after Damien started playing!
Damien Escobar opened and finished this concert full of energy. His performance was excellent - what a talent!!!
The show was awesome! I had purchased tickets early, but had to leave town a few days before the show. Thought I was going to miss it; but after some additional thought, I hustled back to Houston to catch the show. Man, am I glad I did! Best concert I've attended in a very long time! Hoping to see him again here in Houston very soon!
When I heard that Damien Escobar would be in Houston I was excited! I don't go to concerts I'm just not into them, but the music that he plays and the way he makes the violin talk is AWESOME! I am so glad that I went It was great from the beginning to the end. I didn't get a rose but I felt like I got a more than what I expected.
Damien Escobar was great and very talented. He was very personable and shared his life experiences. He encouraged people to step out the box and not be stereotypical. His band was great as well. He does not need an opening act. I was not impress by the young lady that opened for him. I would see him again!!!
Everything I excepted and beyond! When he came off stage OMG!!!! What a way to get your fans goin! ❤️❤️❤️
I don't go to concerts often but when I found out Damien was going to be in Jacksonville, I was going even if I had to go by myself. Lol I wasn't sure what to expect from a violin concert but Damien was amazing, I didn't want it to end. I would pay to see him again!
The show was very entertaining from start to finish. I loved the passion that Damien displayed during his performance.
Great concert, interacted with the audience. Sound was of great quality.
More talking than playing. If you want to learn all about his struggles, you will enjoy the show.
Loved the concert!! I've never been so touched by music. Can't wait for the next tour!
The talent of this young man is extraordinaire. However, the amount of concert time dedicated to handing out roses and photo opt'ing was frustrating.
He was more than amazing. This was the best concert I've been to in my life! I can't wait for the new tour.
Damien Escobar 's show is an inspiring, warm and unforgettable experience. Definitely worth repeating! Humbling, beautiful, soulful experience!
Doors opened at 7PM, Concert began at 8:15PM and finished at ~9:40PM. There were no opening acts except a DJ. Damien's music was excellent. The backing violin recordings were a little overbearing, however, making the performance feel a little like a play-along at times. The real issue was the talking. For such a talented entertainer, he is very boring! Maybe 30-40 minutes of the show were long talks about his "Struggle". I suppose the audience connected with him as a person, but the best part of a concert is the music. Even as big fans we were disappointed. The venue was great.
ONE WORD: AMAZING!!!! Can't wait until he comes back!!
Damien and his band put their souls into every song. As they played, you could not help but feel the vibe deep within. Even if you are not a fan of classical music, he had selections to draw all music lovers in. He is exceptionally talented. Although the show length was great, I could have sat there for hours enjoying his sounds and energy.
I didn't know who Damien was and had never listened to his music before tonight's concert in Detroit (Royal Oak) and was amazed at his talent. Great artist who really connects and gets the attention of his audience. Glad I didn't miss this show!
