IRINA RIVKIN www.rosestreetmusic.com/irinarivkin

Outmusic Awards Recipient for OutSong of the Year 2003, Indiegrrl performer, Rose Street founder and singer-songwriter Irina Rivkin has performed for 25 years, from her childhood singing Russian folk and American Jazz in a family band, to performing her own songs for the last decade, always mixing solo work with collaborations. She organized the original vocal ensemble, Making Waves, around a song she had written supporting the struggle of community radio station KPFA. Her gutsy originals journey into the personal and political, with occasional travels into Russian and Spanish language lyrics.

Her full-length CD “upwelling” is released on Rose Street Records April 2004. 

“irina is a gift… her voice is pure and you can hear the sincerity… it is a special thing … her true soul shines through and it makes your heart smile.” SONiA of Disappear Fear

“Insightful lyrics that bite back!” Helen Walsh, ArtJuju Producer

Steph has been singing in front of audiences since age 6 and claims voice as her first instrument. Her guitar and songwriting styles are ever-evolving, and have grown to include blues, rock and punk.

 “Energetic guitar, refreshing lyrics.”  Amy Emerman, Singer-Songwriter and Indiegrrl 

"Very few sounds are as beautiful as those that Steph Furness creates with her guitar. She has a gift of being able to transport her musical visions right to our hearts. I love listening to her music. One feels like they are peeking into the pages of her journal and her life."  Jade Esteban Estrada, Vicarious New York
