Carrie Rodriguez on Myspace

Reared in Austin, TX, and schooled at Berklee, the fiddle-playing singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez made her recording debut in 2002 when she contributed to an album by country-folk legend Chip Taylor entitled Let's Leave This Town. Taylor had first heard Rodriguez at the 2001 South by Southwest conference and invited her to tour alongside him, which she did for several years. She released her solo debut, Seven Angels on a Bicycle, in 2006. She Ain't Me arrived two years later, featuring an increased emphasis on Rodriguez's vocals and songwriting capabilities.
