Carrie Rodriguez August 27, 2007

Carrie Rodriguez is a dynamic fiddler who creates an energized, highly-creative mix of sounds based in the country and folk traditions. Brandi Shearer's voice is an irresistible, smoky instrument imbued with an air of mystery and melancholy. She is also a first-class songwriter with a unique sound that blends the feeling of classic torch songs of the '30s and '40s with the relaxed melodies of old-time country music and bluesy, swinging jazz.
