See Rodriguez with his full band live in Calgary (CONTEST)

Mar 16 2017, 5:08 am

Legendary Mexican-American folk musician Rodriguez is hitting up Calgary with his full band on August 3.

Performing at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, fans can expect to hear the blues meets soft rock musician play iconic hits including I Wonder, Like Janis, and more.

Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was born in Detroit in 1942, and has translated his diverse experiences into his music. He holds a BA in philosophy from Wayne State University, and sings of cruelties facing the inner city poor in much of his music.

As a talented singer-songwriter, Rodriguez began performing at bars and clubs in Detroit in the 60s. From there, he recorded his popular albums Cold Fact and Coming from Reality with Sussex records.

Rodriguez’ music is now popular on a global scale and his track Sugar Man became the soundtrack for 2012 Oscar award-winning documentary, Searching for Sugar Man, directed by Malik Bendjelloul.

Rodriguez now tours extensively in South Africa, Australia, Europe, Canada, and the US. As an artist, he appreciates greeting fans old and new a like – many of whom are able to find common ground through listening to his music.

You can expect to hear Rodriguez play songs from his albums Coming from Reality and Cold Fact on his North American tour this summer.
