Mark your calendars – the Stoltz Listening Room at the Avalon Theatre will host multi-talented Carrie Rodriguez on Friday, January 6.
Rodriguez is one of those Americana/roots performers who can do it all. Not only is she an acclaimed singer whose strong, seductive voice glides easily from blues to alt-country to gospel, she also writes and performs her own catchy songs, covers classics with a refreshing originality, and plays a mean fiddle, tenor guitar, and electric mandolin…and all within one electrifying show.
Hailing from Austin, Texas, Rodriguez was discovered by veteran songwriter Chip Taylor, with whom she released three critically acclaimed Americana/country albums.
“Yes, Miss. Rodriguez is a fiddle player, having gravitated toward the instrument since age 5. Nevertheless, ‘She Ain’t Me’ presents a number of additional identities that suit her well, from songwriter to guitarist, singer and mandolin player. Try to pigeonhole or label such an artist – an unclassifiable musician who, in less than 10 years, has packed more change into her career than someone twice her age – and there’s only one appropriate response: It ain’t over.” Andrew Leahy – The Washington Times
