Music

Carrie Rodriguez

In her solo work, fiddler and singer Carrie Rodriguez has borrowed words from songwriters ranging from M. Ward to her father, folk evangelist David Rodriguez. On latest LP Give Me All You Got, she speaks for herself. The local’s fifth release showcases largely original songs that celebrate whiskey-fueled nights and settling down in equal measure. Guitarist Luke Jacobs joins Rodriguez for two nights of live recording.

– Abby Johnston
