Of his violinist, the scary-sexy Scarlet Rivera, he (Dylan) says, She wore a sword everywhere she went, that girl.

From a classical background she bent the accepted norms by experimenting with all genres of music from Rock Fusion and Jazz to Latin polyrhythms and Celtic. She was a revolutionary from the start.

This creative collaboration launched a career that has seen Scarlet perform and record with a who’s who critically acclaimed musicians, in the studio and on stages around the globe.
These days Scarlet is leaning notably into her work in film music. Throughout her career Scarlet has been a performer on soundtracks and composer for films and now she is focusing even more on the opportunities that are coming her way.
The journey of expression and creativity never stops for Scarlet Rivera with new music to compose and record and performances to give throughout the world.

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.
