Three nights, three different musical settings for the venerated local troubadour, advancing a new LP currently incubating. This, from an artist who’s done everything at the Continental from writing an album onstage to performing solo acoustic. Thursday’s the Alejandro Escovedo Trio, featuring backing by keyboardist/violinist Scott Danbom, Mark Henne on “drums and various machines,” and singers Karla Manzur and Gina Holton. Friday features a full rock band, adding F.G. Barbara Creamer (bass) and Nick Diaz (lead guitar). Saturday adds strings – violinist David Perales and cellist Anthony Rogers – to Thursday’s cast. Openers include Barfield (Thursday), the Beaumonts (Friday), and Will Johnson (Saturday).
