Carrie Rodriguez's Laboratorio w/ Calexico

Fresh off her composition collab of multimedia stage doc Postcards From the Border, Austin’s Texican vocalist and violinist Carrie Rodriguez spotlights more Latine perspectives with her latest installment of Laboratorio. Founded in 2017, this quarterly cultural celebration peers into the American experiment through always-fresh curations of music, art, and storytelling. Stretching from the State Theatre to the historic Paramount next door for the first time, this round welcomes Latin rhythm-infused indie rock purveyors Calexico – whose 2022 album El Mirador reads like an ode to Southwest borderlands – alongside decorated penner and Latin American art historian Roberto Tejada. – Amber Williams
