Carrie Rodriguez<\/strong><\/a>, a singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas, finds beauty in the cross-pollination of diverse traditions. A passionate performer, she melds fiery fiddle playing, electrifying vocals and a fresh interpretation of new and classic songs with an \u201cAmeri-Chicana\u201d attitude. Her most recent release, the critically acclaimed bilingual album, Lola, was named as one of NPR\u2019s top 50 albums of the year. Carrie has performed on stages across North America and Europe for the last decade, as well as on programs such as Austin City Limits, The Tonight Show, A Prairie Home Companion, and NPR\u2019s Tiny Desk Concerts. In the words of author Bren\u00e9 Brown, \u201cShe\u2019s the trifecta for me \u2013 beautiful singer, soulful songwriter, and kick-a– fiddler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
