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.

Wonderful date night experience
by Jade on 12/10/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5The Sound Board is always a vibe. The close and intimate spacing is great. I will always try and see my favorite artist here because of that.
Lateness diminishes greatness.
by Jackie on 11/13/23Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 4 out of 5The show was nice but the 25 minute delay of his performance took away from the experience.
First time seeing Damien in concert and it was phenomenal!

by JP on 11/10/23Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5Great show! Wonderful musician with a testimony about overcoming challenges in life. I enjoyed the breathing exercise he walked us through and his reminder to us all to be grateful for big and small. I especially loved when he walked through the audience playing his violin, that was definitely a highlight.

Good Show with Lots of Energy
by Redlinesnut on 10/22/23Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 4 out of 5Strong and emotional performance by Damien and his back-up band. A poor mix from the sound board detracted from the performance. The recorded backing tracks were too loud. They, at times, overpowered and "drowned out"the live performers. Very disappointing.

So phenomenal we are buying tickets again & flying to Virginia to see him for a 2nd time. He is an impeccable & fire violinist! Very enthusiastic & engages with his fans. A performance that is a must to see.
Amazingly Awesome
by Blackswan111 on 10/20/23Center Stage Theater - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5There is no earthly way to describe this man’s talent, what I will say is that he tries to make each and every person who come to see him feel like he is playing his violin just for them almost as if they are the only person in the room. I could see him again and again and again…his spirit is something unearthly and his gift can only be from God…If he’s ever in your area please don’t pass up the opportunity to enjoy specialness ( hope that’s a word)….
