Acclaimed roots vocalist and fiddle player, Carrie Rodriguez, returns to Ireland for a short countrywide tour in November including a date at The Workman’s Club, Dublin on Wednesday, November 12th (8.00pm).

Rodriguez’ journey from teenage violin student to touring the world with the likes of Chip Taylor (famed songwriter of “Wild Thing”), Lucinda Williams and Alejandro Escovedo, has resulted in a prodigious output of recordings - eight albums in as many years - for the young musician, her latest being this year’s release of “Live at the Cactus”.

Her professional career was launched in 2001 after a show at South By Southwest introduced her to Taylor, with whom she has recorded four full albums and an EP. Her musical development started much earlier, however, and at the hands of an equally seasoned songwriting veteran, her father David Rodriquez.

Family friends also include Lyle Lovett, who invited Rodriguez to sit in with his band when she was at college, helping her develop as a performer.

Give Me All You Got – was released on 9th Street Opus in February 2013 and was immediately acclaimed as her finest work to date. Uncut called it “a triumph”. It flew to the top of the US Americana chart.

Joining her on stage on pedal steel, electric and acoustic guitar and vocals will be Luke Jacobs. Tickets (€15.00) are available on www.theworkmansclub.com
