Wed, June 8, Pete Escovedo

Sacramento was chosen as the inaugural host of a traveling Smithsonian exhibition called American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music. This Wednesday’s event to complement the exhibition features the popular Pete Escovedo, a Bay Area native whose family lived for live music. Although his sister, Sheila E., gained notoriety for her single “The Glamorous Life,” Escovedo’s following inevitably came from his live shows and playing with the Santana touring troupe. If you haven’t heard his Latin Jazz Orchestra or are yearning for a musical exploration, this show is one that should please everyone. Support your library and it’ll support you. 828 I Street, www.peteescovedo.com.
