Cult Singer and Detroit Legend Rodriguez to play iconic Kalamazoo State Theatre
Friday, December 11th, 2015. 8pm Doors.

Sixto Rodriguez, acclaimed singer/songwriter and subject of the Oscar nominated film, “Searching for Sugarman” returns to West Michigan for one night at the Kalamazoo State Theatre on Friday, December 11, 2015.

With the release of “Searching for Sugar Man” and its subsequent award nominations, Rodriguez has experienced an explosion of interest. Including sold out shows at the Masonic Temple in Detroit and at Pontiac’s Crofoot Ballroom.

Sixto’s story is a fairy tale come true, his album is one of the lost classics of the ’60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in color and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion. The album is Cold Fact, and what’s more intriguing is that its maker – a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez – was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working as a menial day laborer in Detroit, Michigan. He was unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution.Buy Tickets HERE!
