Sugarman - The Rodriguez Story
About
The Rodriguez Story is a powerful live concert tracing the unlikely rise of Sixto Rodriguez — the voice of a generation that didn’t know he was theirs.While his albums Cold Fact (1970) and Coming From Reality (1971) went largely unnoticed in the US, his poetic songs became anthems in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand — outselling The Beatles and Elvis. Yet, Rodriguez lived a quiet, humble life, entirely unaware of his global fame.
The Rodriguez Story brings his extraordinary journey to the stage through a full live band, immersive video, and stunning lighting. Featuring acclaimed vocalist Howie Morgan with a special guest appearance by Rodriguez’s daughter, Sandra Rodriguez, the show captures the spirit of his music with authenticity and heart. Sandra brings a deeply personal touch as she performs some of her father’s classic songs, honouring his legacy and the impact of his words across generations.
Performing Sugar Man, I Wonder, Inner City Blues, I Think of You and more!
