RODRIGUEZ
October 10
Radio City Music Hall
Star of the acclaimed documentary Searching for Sugar Man, Rodriguez is a Detroit musician whose songs ultimately fell through the cracks because of record label politics. By serendipity, the singer-songwriter garnered a huge fan following in South African—without his ever knowing it. His South African fans believed he’d committed suicide, a lie that persisted until one inquisitive music-lover tracked him down in the States. The investigation catapulted his career, and Rodriguez has been touring ever since.
