Carrie Rodriguez returns to the Jaqua Concert Hall on tour in support of her extraordinary new CD, Lola (February 19, Luz Records). She is joined by two of the members of her Sacred Hearts band, Luke Jacobs on guitar and steel and Brannen Temple on percussion. Lola is the result of Rodriguez' dream of presenting her deeply personal take on Tex-Mex music. Entitled Sacred Heart, the project, which features an all-star band that includes Bill Frisell, Viktor Krauss, and Raul Malo, pairs her ranchera-inspired original tunes sung in English and “Spanglish” alongside contemporary interpretations of songs by her favorite Mexican composers delivered in Spanish. The result is heartfelt music that evokes, in her own words, “the rich landscape of blended cultures that I call home.” Now Hear This Series Ticketing: Purchase at The Shedd Institute Ticket Office (541-434-7000, 868 High Street).
