Karina Rykman plays bass, sings, jumps around, and laughs a lot. In doing so, she has garnered rare attention and avid listenership. Straddling the worlds of jam rock and indie pop drenched in psychedelia, Karina's effervescent presence comes to life in musical form.
Born & raised in New York City, Karina Rykman's musical path began in her early teens playing in bands whenever she could while attending a veritable ton of live music as a fan. By the end of her senior year at NYU, Rykman's virtuoso talent & infectious spirit saw her invited to join pianist Marco Benevento's band (as recommended by Ween bassist Dave Dreiwitz), with whom she's performed countless shows including dates with Vulfpeck, Dispatch, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, & many more.
Rykman soon formed her own namesake band, accompanied by Adam November (guitar, loopers, effects) and Chris Corsico (drums). She quickly earned a reputation as an unmissable live act - a bombastic exposition that floats freely between dreamy indie pop and thick, distorted rock - with "fun" as its guiding light. Tearing up sold out headline performances to ravenous fans, show-stealing festival performances (including Bonnaroo, Peach Music Festival, and Sweetwater 420 Fest), opening for Khruangbin, My Morning Jacket, the Tedeschi Trucks Band (+ many more), plus recent appearances in the house band on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers, Karina stays busy.
Rykman released her debut album, JOYRIDE via AWAL in August 2023. Written & recorded with childhood friend and producer Gabe Monro, the album serves as a vivid canvas for Rykman's vibrant expression & chameleonic songcraft. JOYRIDE features Trey Anastasio as co-producer & featured musician, contributing guitar on five of the album's nine tracks.
The bassist/vocalist's concerts are often packed with fans who feel more like friends--a testament to her undeniable charisma and her embrace of the live music community--and that circle continues to expand at alarming rates.

"Joyride Tour 2023" celebrates the upcoming arrival of Rykman's hugely anticipated debut album, JOYRIDE, arriving via AWAL on Friday, August 18. Pre-orders are available now. The album was first heralded earlier this month with the premiere of the first single and title track, "Joyride." Equal parts thick bass, ethereal synths, disco-funk guitar, and silky, inviting vocals, the track - which features signature lead guitar from JOYRIDE co-producer Trey Anastasio - expertly captures Rykman's jubilant brand of sonic exploration, bridging an array of genres to arrive at her own compelling and original take on psychedelic indie rock.
