Alejandro Escovedo & the Rant Band

Last summer, Austin’s prestige rock & roll bard Alejandro Escovedo joined similarly minded icon/influence Ian Hunter’s own Rant Band for a set of their leader’s classics on his birthday at NYC’s City Winery. This Saturday, the Rant Band joins Escovedo down here on his birthday for a similar set. The evening promises a complete run-through of Hunter’s old band Mott the Hoople’s most definitive LP, 1973’s Mott, featuring such timeless glam stompers as “All the Way From Memphis.” —1410711
