An invigorating, powerful voice, enriching lyrics, and a remarkable stage presence are hallmarks of singer/songwriter Evonne Rivera.
Influenced by such artists as Etta James, Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin, Evonne Rivera’s music is filled with soulful, Old School energy and captivating hooks.
No stranger to the stage, Evonne previously performed before packed audiences, in renowned venues throughout Los Angeles such as The House of Blues, The El Rey Theatre and The Viper Room, as the back-up vocalist in the acclaimed, speak-easy jazz show, The Toledo Show.
Within the walls of the notorious Maverick Studios, Evonne recorded the sultry back-up vocals on The Toledo Show album, “Fishnets and Cigarettesâ€, released by Moonshine Records.
In search of finding her own sound, Evonne left The Toledo Show to form the band Ragdoll, and performed as the lead singer and songwriter throughout Los Angeles and Pasadena in popular venues such as Luna Park, The Baked Potato and The Joint.
After becoming pregnant, Evonne took a break from performing live to focus on being a mother. However, determined to learn more about the business of music, Evonne soon acquired three-years experience as a record promoter for commercial radio.
Ready to reveal her passion and story to the world, Evonne started her own independent label, Sweet Bottom Records, and began working with Grammy nominated songwriter and producer Rodney Shelton.
