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 was amazing to watch and hear him play with such passion. I love how he interacted with entire room. I'll definitely go see him again.

  • Amazing!

    by Terri Cummings on 10/2/24Rating: 5 out of 5

    I saw Damien in Carmel, Indiana @ The Palladium. This was my first time and definitely won't be the last. I was mesmerized by his talent and ability to draw the audience in with his intimate set. He came down from the stage and walked amongst us and basically serenaded the crowd. I literally wanted to cry the way he moved me. Not only the music but his words ministers to your soul. I'm a fan for life! Thank you sir for sharing your gift with the world.

    The sound system could not get him together. Then you couldn't hear the violin. Never again there.

  • Best night ever

    by Bellasmom on 7/13/24The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    I hadn't seen Damien in concert in over a year. He put on a spectacular show despite not the best weather...it had rained all day and he had been very sick the previous day. What a Showman and Professional. Damien had to wait for about 40 minutes due to technical issues before he could begin...and he made up every minute that we waited. His performance was mesmerizing!!!! I can't wait to see him again 😍

  • What a show!!

  • Excellent Escobar Victory Tour Finale

    by Sarita on 12/12/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    Damien' show was on fire as always. He ignites every place that he plays. I can't just say the stage, because he is so personal that he comes down in the audience so we can feel like we are touching his positive vibes and energy, even when he doesn't personally feel his best. I love Damien' spirit and soul and how he pours this into his music. He makes the violin sing and you find yourself singing along even when you don't know the words. It was a beautiful show and I pray he has continued success in life, health and wealth as he continues to bless us all.

  • Amazing!

  • Spectacular Performance

    by LaToya on 12/11/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    Damien Escobar is a phenomenal artist with a humble, beautiful soul. His show was amazing. The energy was positive. The music was great as usual. I love how he engages the audience. The best part of the show was when he walked through the entire auditorium to playing his violin, talking with the fans, giving out hugs/handshakes and truly enjoying his art. If it’s possible, I will be at every single show he has in Detroit.
