No Simple Road starting 2022 strong with Karina Rykman as our guest !In 2016, Karina joined Marco Benevento's band on bass, replacing 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, Guster, and many more. Aside from her gigs with Benevento, Karina’s musical résumé has almost grown too large to keep track of, but includes highlights we’d be remiss to exclude: a performance on the Today Show with Julia Michaels, a now-famous soundcheck at Madison Square Garden with Phish, playing in the backing band (in front of Howard Stern and co. at Radio City Music Hall) 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, + many more) and finally, the formation of her own band.We talk with Karina about growing up living in Manhattan and moving to the country for quarantine, how she's gathered her super friends to create her band, how being busy and having everything stop affected her, what it feels like to get back out playing shows, her most embarrassing tour story and a whole lot more!SINGLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Dirty South' SINGLE AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: 'City Kids'FOR MORE INFO ON KARINA: www.karinarykman.comAfter the interview stay tuned for an important PSA from No Simple Road's Conductor, New Year's Eve wrap up and story time, and a couple of things to take with all of us as we travel into 2022 as a Family!NEW!!!
