Martin Rivas
Artist Description
Charisma and undeniable warmth are just two of the many qualities Martin Rivas brings to the stage with his catchy, infectious songs and his beaming smile. This West Village and Lower East Side mainstay has made a name for himself as one of the hardest working musicians around, playing gigs almost every night that feature both original work and re-interpretations of longtime favorites from many genres. Since establishing the beloved “Campfire” series with drummer Craig Meyer, held at The Red Lion and Slane amongst others, Rivas has also taken the stage at the legendary Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room and Canal Room. He was a finalist in the prestigious New York Songwriters Circle 2009 contest for his incredible song “North,” in addition to releasing his fourth full-length CD Sea of Clouds this past August, an album that takes us on the long journey and intimate roads this singer has traveled over the years. Martin is a true diamond in the rough, engaging the audience, singing from his soul, and reminding us all of the power and simplicity of raw, honest, music for music’s sake.
