Scarlet Rivera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scarlet Rivera is an American violinist. She is probably best known for her work with Bob Dylan, in particular on his album Desire and as part of the Rolling Thunder Revue.
Bob Dylan is often credited for discovering the violinist. Before the rehearsal for his 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour, Scarlet was quite literally picked up off the street and invited to join in the rehearsals only because she carried a violin case on her back. Dylan had previously not had any experiences with her or her musical talent.
After an impressive musical session with the violinist, Dylan invited Scarlet to play on the famous Rolling Thunder Revue tour, and she accepted without thinking twice.
Later in her career, she also appeared on albums by Tracy Chapman (Crossroads), Keb Mo' (The Door), Stanley Clarke (Just Family), David Johansen (Funky but Chic), Ian McNabb (Head Like A Rock) and others.
