ALI ESKANDARIAN to open for the legendary Peter Murphy (of Bauhaus) on RETROSPECTIVE Tour.
Ali Eskandarian’s transnational upbringing makes him a prescient voice for our era. The Iranian-American troubadour draws upon influences as discrete as American folk, rock and traditional Persian music to craft songs about love, travel, politics and loneliness. The results have earned him comparisons to greats like Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley.
Ali was born in Pensacola, FL, and raised in Tehran. After attending college in Plano, Ali moved to New York in 2003 to pursue his dream. Buzz has built around Ali’s live performances, which include shows at the Living Room, the Rockwood Music Hall and a summer residency at Washington, D.C.’s the Red and the Black. Ali’s intensely personal blend of East and West is an adventurous, politically compelling addition to the musical landscape of 2008.
