Karina Rykman plays bass, sings, jumps around, and laughs a lot. Straddling the worlds of jam rock and indie pop drenched in psychedelia, Rykman's effervescent presence comes to life in musical form. Born and raised in NYC, Rykman began in her early teens and quickly earned a reputation as an unmissable live act. Tearing up sold-out headline performances to ravenous fans, playing show-stealing festival/support slots, plus recent appearances in the house band on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers—Rykman stays busy. Rykman released her debut album, JOYRIDE, via AWAL in August 2023 and features Trey Anastasio as co-producer and featured musician, contributing guitar on five of the album’s nine tracks.
