Of his violinist, the scary-sexy Scarlet Rivera, he (Dylan) says, She wore a sword everywhere she went, that girl. -National Review
Grammy-nominated American musician Scarlet Rivera burned a hole in the fabric of rock history as a pioneer of the electric violin. With a classical background, she broke the accepted norms by experimenting across all genres of music, from rock fusion and jazz to Latin, World, and Celtic. She was a revolutionary from the start.
Bob Dylan was the first to discover and acknowledge Scarlet, making her an integral part of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour. This creative collaboration launched a career that has seen Scarlet perform and record with a who’s who of critically acclaimed musicians, in the studio and on stages around the globe.
In recent years, Scarlet has made a significant career leap, stepping into the role of lead vocalist with her solo debut vocal album “All Of Me,” followed by “Dylan Dreams.”
Her third upcoming album, “Violin Violin,” is a high-powered collaboration with Grammy Award-winning hit songwriter Jeff Silbar.

Dylan Dreams is a musical first for Scarlet as she takes lead vocals, as well as playing, “a beautiful tribute to the man who clearly remains her favorite bandleader”.
The clarity of her playing, the tone of her violin – she owns it.
–John Apice, Americana Highways
Scarlet, I want to thank you. What you did back in 1975 and 1976 in your work with Bob Dylan touched my heart back then when I was 19 to 20 years old, but this day for millions of fans it continues to stand the test of time.
