Karina-Rykman

Karina Rykman
Karina Rykman (Manhattan, NY) In 2016, Karina Rykman joined Marco Benevento’s band on bass, replacing her ‘guru’ Dave Dreiwitz (Ween /Joe Russo’s Almost Dead). In the many U.S. tours, trips to Japan and the UK since then, Karina has developed a permanent and powerful presence in the band, playing headlining shows, festival sets, and opening for bands such as Vulfpeck, Dispatch, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Guster. Now her musical résumé has almost grown too large to keep track of, but includes a performance on the Today Show, a now-famous soundcheck at Madison Square Garden with Phish, playing in the backing band on America’s Got Talent with a flame-spewing helmet on her head, gigs with the Everyone Orchestra alongside members of MOE., The Disco Biscuits, Soulive, Robert Randolph and culminating in the formation of her brand spanking new band.
