John Platt of WFUV has been been running a series of shows down at The
Lower East Side's Living Room called On Your Radar.  Tonight's 7pm show is
worth your while to catch.  The headliner is Greenpoint's (by way of
Austin) Carrie Rodriguez.  
Carrie's music is rock, alt country and even traditional country.
Besides the fiddle, Carrie plays a number of four stringed instruments
including tenor guitar and electric mandolin (pictured here).  She
likes atmospheric sounds and is not afraid of using pedals.  Her lead
guitarist, Hans Holzer is quite good and he should be playing with her
tonight in a trio format.  Carrie will be on the road for a bit so
tonight looks like your last time to catch her before the fall.

Also on the bill is Anthony DaCosta and Linsday Mac. Anthony is out of
Pleasantville, NY and just 18.  Although I've yet to hear him, he's
being playing around a lot these days and according to one performer
who has worked with him, is just amazing at writing lyrics.  The word
on the street is that he can write songs far beyond his years.

Lindsay Mac is is originally from Iowa, now based in Boston and plays cello.  But she plays it strapped to her body, standing up.  Should be interesting at the least.

On Your Radar, The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street, 7pm (F Train to Second Avenue; use the First Avenue exit).
