Escovedo began performing in the first-wave punk rock group the Nuns, with Jennifer Miro and Jeff Olener, in San Francisco, California. He moved to New York in 1978 and joined the Judy Nylon band. Escovedo lived in the Chelsea Hotel. In the 1980s Escovedo moved to Austin, Texas, where he adopted a roots rock/alternative country style in the band Rank and File (with Chip and Tony Kinman) and then started True Believers.
Escovedo's first solo albums, Gravity and Thirteen Years, were released in 1992 and 1994, respectively. In 1997, Escovedo collaborated with Ryan Adams and the band Whiskeytown in recording sessions for their album Strangers Almanac. He sings on "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight", "Dancing with the Women at the Bar", and "Not Home Anymore." Whiskeytown also covered the True Believers song, "The Rain Won't Help You When It's Over," written by Escovedo.
In June 2010, Escovedo released Street Songs of Love, the album received airtime on radio shows such as Little Steven Van Zandt's Underground Garage. In October 2016, Escovedo released the album Burn Something Beautiful. He is an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame Inductee, 2021, and received the AMA Lifetime Achievement Award for Performing, 2006.
