IRINA RIVKIN www.rosestreetmusic.com/irinarivkin
Outmusic Awards Recipient for OutSong of the Year 2003, Indiegrrl performer, Rose Street founder and singer-songwriter Irina Rivkin has performed for 25 years, from her childhood singing Russian folk and American Jazz in a family band, to performing her own songs for the last decade, always mixing solo work with collaborations. She organized the original vocal ensemble, Making Waves, around a song she had written supporting the struggle of community radio station KPFA. Her gutsy originals journey into the personal and political, with occasional travels into Russian and Spanish language lyrics. Her full-length CD "upwelling" was released on Rose Street Records in 2004, and has received airplay on over 100 radio programs. "See Through Bush," a song from "upwelling", received repeated airplay all over the world after being chosen for the Acoustic Rainbow v.20 radio sampler (sent in Oct. 2004 to almost 1300 radio stations). In addition, as an occasional harmony vocalist for SONiA, she sang at the 4/25/04 March for Women's Lives in Washington DC, the biggest march in US History, as well as at the June 2004 Clearwater Hudson River Revival on a stage shared with Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Toshi Reagan, and Dar Williams!

Irina layers her poetic lyrics with rich harmonies and vocal percussive rhythms.
