Grammy nominated American musician Scarlet Rivera burned a hole in the fabric of rock history as a pioneer of electric violin. 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. Bob Dylan was the first to discover and acknowledge Scarlet, making her as 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 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.
Steve Conte first became known to the music industry in the early 1990s as the songwriter and guitarist of the band Company of Wolves (Mercury Records). After the Wolves' breakup in 1992, he went on to form the band Crown Jewels with John Conte, and in 2003, the pair made an album under the name The Contes. In 2004, Steve Conte joined the New York Dolls as a guitarist and vocalist, where he would remain until 2010, when he joined Michael Monroe's new band.
Conte has performed with Etta James, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, Johnny Adams, Reese Wynans (Stevie Ray Vaughan), Phoebe Snow, Cyndi Lauper, John Waite, Richie Hayward (Little Feat), Will Lee, Lou Marini (The Blues Brothers), Carole King, The Uptown Horns, Steve Clark (Def Leppard), and many others.
**************************
Tapers notes: I saw Scarlet a few years back at the same concert series, they were both supposed to be outdoors, and both ended up moving inside due to weather. Regardless, she is always worth the 3 hour drive up there, her connection with Dylan is what most people know of her, but she's a fabulous musician in her own right. This show was originally supposed to include Chris Mulkey, but there was a scheduling conflict, so Steve Conte stepped in at the last minute and did a great job.
"Got a mind to ramble, got a mind to roam
I'm travelin' light and I'm slow coming home"
