Rodriguez

42 years has passed since the release of his debut album Cold Fact, and finally, Rodriguez is getting the recognition and success he deserves. His last tour in Australia in 2010 saw Rodriguez sell out multiple shows in Sydney and Melbourne, as well as selling out his show in Adelaide and two show-stopping appearances at Bluesfest.

Now – an award-winning documentary on the ‘Mystery Man’ has launched Sixto Rodriguez into a global spotlight. ‘Search for Sugarman’ – the story of two South African fans and their search over three decades to discover their hero - claimed two awards at the Sundance Film Festival, the Best Documentary Award in Moscow and the Audience Award at the Melbourne, Los Angeles and Durban Festivals.

It’s a fairy-tale story of an amazing musician, extraordinary wordsmith and talented performer, his two albums,‘Cold Fact’ and ‘Coming From Reality’ and the wonderful songs like ‘I Wonder’, Crucify Your Mind’ and the enduring anthemic ‘Sugar Man’.

“…One of the greatest, and most moving documentaries ever made” - Ali Catterall
