Carrie Rodriguez: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

May 27, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS Carrie Rodriguez has been many things: a classically trained violinist turned American fiddler, a duet partner to veteran songwriter Chip Taylor, a successful and popular solo artist in her own right. On occasion, those roles have allowed her MexicanAmerican roots to bubble to the surface perhaps in a line sung in Spanish, or through a reference to a classic mariachi song. On her new album Lola, Rodriguez s bicultural life blossoms into a spectacular collection of stories and songs, several of which she included in this Tiny Desk concert with guitarist Luke Jacobs. Lola is available now: iTunes: Amazon: Set List: I Dreamed I Was Lola Beltrán Llano Estacado Noche De Ronda Credits: Producers: Felix Contreras, Niki Walker; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Niki Walker, Kara Frame; Production Assistant: Jackson Sinnenberg; Photo: Brandon Chew, NPR
