Outmusic Awards Recipient, & founder of Rose Street & vocal trio Making Waves, Irina Rivkin has performed for 25 years, from her childhood singing jazz & Russian folk in a family band, to performing her own songs for the last decade. Her gutsy poetic world-folk originals journey into personal & political, with occasional travels into Russian & Spanish language lyrics. Irina layers her poetic lyrics with rich textured harmonies, swirling with vocal percussive beats, all created live on-the-spot using her loop station instrument!

Her full-length CD “upwelling” is released on Rose Street Records in 2004, and has received radioplay on over 100 radio programs. "See Through Bush," a song from "upwelling", received airplay all over the world after being chosen for the Acoustic Rainbow v.20 radio sampler (distributed in Oct. 2004 to 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 has also shared the stage with Alice DiMicele, SoNia, Laura Love, Shelley Doty, Gwen Avery, Irene Farrera, Rebecca Riots, Julia Butterfly, Rose Polenzani, Woody Simmons, and Joules Graves. read more.
