Carrie Rodriguez and Ben Sollee November 17, 2010

A dynamic cross between Lucinda Williams and Suzanne Vega, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Carrie Rodriguez is climbing quickly to the top of the Americana ladder. Performing with Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, John Prine, Bruce Hornsby and many others, her Austin roots, passionate live shows and critically acclaimed albums have led to a Roots Music Association 2009 Songwriter of the Year award and national TV and radio appearances on Austin City Limits (PBS-TV), Mountain Stage and World Café Live.

One of National Public Radio’s 2007 Top 10 Unknown Artists, cellist and singer Ben Sollee defies convention with his soulful voice and unique instrumentation, bridging jazz, bluegrass and folk and collaborating with the Sparrow Quartet, Otis Taylor, Jim James and Daniel Martin Moore.
