Rodridguez, a classically-trained violinist, who hired a country band and went pop, plays a $10 show on Friday, Feb. 15 with special guest Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles.

On sale at the same time are tickets for an 8 p.m. show on Thursday, Feb. 28 featuring Drive-By Truckers and the Felice Brothers. The Truckers' new record, "Brighter Than Creation’s Dark," is due out Jan. 22 on New West Records.
