  Trailblazing Rock Violinist,  SCARLET RIVERA  Releasing New EP,
“ALL OF ME” – February 2020!

Scarlet Rivera Toured  & Recorded with Bob Dylan  Starting in 1975!!

World-renowned violinist and composer Scarlet Rivera has come a long way in her music career since being first introduced to the world by the legendary Bob Dylan as his featured violinist in 1975. Today, she proudly announces the release of her new upcoming EP, All of Me, her 12th solo body of work set to release in February 2020 on Bright Sun Records.

On the All of Me EP, Rivera combines her versatility as a world-class violinist with her singing and songwriting skills to create six original songs. The songs cover various topics from women’s empowerment and political power to self-identity and the wisdom one gains from living life. The EP also includes the track “Songbird” that pays homage to iconic singer-songwriter and Rivera’s contemporary, Joni Mitchell.

The Early  Years

Originally trained as a classical violinist, Rivera explored adapting the violin into several other music genres and styles, including Americana, rock, new age, Celtic and world music. It was this innovative spirit that got the attention of Bob Dylan in 1975. After an impromptu audition, Dylan asked Rivera to perform on his 1976 album, Desire, that went double-platinum and was considered one of the biggest albums of his career. Dylan featured Rivera on every track, being impressed with her versatile playing and improvisational skills. He later invited Rivera to accompany him on his Rolling Thunder Revue. This year-long tour featured a lineup of legendary artists, including Joni Mitchell, Mick Ronson, Roger McGuinn, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, among others.

Since then, Rivera has gone on to be featured on recordings and tours by many other major label artists, including the Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Eric Andersen, Keb’ Mo’, Peter Maffay, David Johansen and Sylvia Tyson of ‘Ian and Sylvia’, and five-time Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar. She also released 11 solo albums of her own, including genre-bending Celtic and rock albums that cemented her place as one of the world’s most prominent and versatile violinists of her time.

Rivera was recently featured in the 2019 film, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.” The film includes captivating original footage of Rivera both behind the scenes and performing live on tour with Dylan in 1975.

Rivera’s latest EP, All of Me,  features the artist’s vocal talents as well.

Mike Finnigan on keys (Bonnie Raitt, Crosby Stills and Nash, Jimmie Hendrix and many more);
Steve Ferrone on drums (Tom Petty and Eric Clapton);
Jimmy Haslip on bass (the Yellow Jackets, Chaka Kahn, Jeff Lorber and Bruce Hornsby);
