Karina Rykman

Karina Rykman is a New York bassist, singer, and power-trio force who plays, jumps, laughs, and locks rooms with high-wire live energy. After years in Marco Benevento’s band and the wider jam/experimental circuit, she stepped out front with Joyride (AWAL)—Trey Anastasio among the album’s collaborators—and a catalog built for bass-forward hooks that still sing.

Sophomore era Late Checkout and the “Easy, Rider” video push the same joy-first charge: melodic rock with groove, humor, and no half-measures onstage. Expect bounce, bass fireworks, and full-band heat. Stream Joyride and Easy Rider, watch the official videos, and follow @karinarykman for tour dates and new drops as they land.
