Composer – Musician – Producer
Rodrigo’s trio “RC Trio” just released its debut album “Live by Creekside” recorded live at Creekside Music in Frankfort, IN, on August 6th 2021. Said Rodrigo on the project:
“We seriously take the risk of exploring the boundaries of the music in play, but we are also pushing our capacity as musicians to stretch the imagination of the divergent avenues that we could travel within the vehicle of the composition as far as we can”.
