I'm so happy to be opening for Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, a show I was really looking forward to doing at Courville's last September when Hurricane Rita hit Texas and cancelled out Chip and Carrie's tour dates in our area.
Chip Taylor's credits are vast, but a few of his songwriting highlights are "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning." He also discovered and produced James Taylor, as well as Neil Diamond's "Brooklyn Roads."
Carrie Rodriguez has been playing the violin since she was five years old, and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee School of Music in 2000. According to Train Wreck Records (www.trainwreckrecords.com), "when Chip first saw Carrie play at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin Texas in 2001, he was not only wowed by the brilliance he heard in her playing, but also sensed a magical presence. He invited her to join him on some subsequent shows in Texas and then a tour of Europe... and the rest is history."
This will be an evening not to miss--more history in the making. Y'all come!
