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 performance by Damian! The venue was perfect size. Seems that all seats had great view. Waiting for doors to open was a bit inconvenient because the line stretched around the corner and down the block. There was a different show (at same time in the other theater) also in line on sidewalk. Weather was nice otherwise it would have been very bad.
Absolutely one of the best performances by Damien thus far! He has great showmanship and I forward to seeing at Seebreeze.
Great show. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the Birchmere with Damien Escobar. Artist and venue highly recommended .
This was my first time seeing Damien Escobar. What a fantastic show. The energy of his performance and the engagement in fulfilling the ticket holder’s request was incredible. Although I didn’t have the pleasure of receiving a long stem red rose or a picture with him, I truly was impressed by his patience and interaction with each person. It was a hour and thirty minutes of nonstop entertainment. I was disappointed that he was unable to play Gemini, the other songs selected were acceptable. If Damien Escobar is ever in your area, do yourself a favor and support this talented man. You will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience my first time seeing this artist live.I really enjoyed the show. I will definitely come again the next time he’s back excellent show.
This is my fourth time seeing Damien in the past two years and the second time at the Birchmere. When he came in 2023, my best friend and I bought VIP tix and it was worth EVERY penny. Not only is he super talented, he is such a beautiful light and has such a beautiful aura that transcends across and in every space he performs. Looking forward to hearing his new music and seeing him again!
Damien’s music is hypnotic and uplifting. You get caught up in it and soar! That’s his genius.
Worth every dime. First time at a solo concert. He knows how to make music great and get the body and mind feel good
The show was absolutely amazing! He is so personable with his audience, so appreciative of his audience, so humble with his words, and so gifted with his talents! He came down into the audience while playing and walked to every side, walked down every aisle (and when he came by me, I had to touch that arm!). He passed out roses, posed for selfies, took some selfies...I'm so glad I went! He has made me realize if you want to see someone, just go! Live for today and appreciate life. Can't wait to see him again!
Mesmerizing! I plan to see him again. His CD, Gemini is worth buying. Each track is delivered beautifully.
