 of noted Texas singer-songwriter David Rodriguez and visual artist Katy Nail. A concertmaster with the Austin Youth Symphony during her teen years, Rodriguez also appeared as a soloist with the Austin Civic Orchestra.
She studied violin at Oberlin Conservatory before transferring to Berklee College of Music, where she graduated magna cum laude. While at Berklee, Rodriguez was invited by Lyle Lovett to join him onstage at a Boston show to play on her father's song "The Ballad of the Snow Leopard," which Lovett recorded on his "Step Inside This House" CD and was written for Carrie's mother.
Taylor and Rodriguez met in 2001 at a music festival in Austin. Soon after, they started touring in the U.S. and then Europe. And with a little encouragement from Taylor, Rodriguez, who is an untrained singer, started vocalizing for the audience, too.
Now, the duo, with different musical experience and styles, are musical equals with a lot to sing about.
