Bri Rivera

Bri Rivera's grandfather taught her the cuatro, Puerto Rico's ten-string guitar, when she was nine in Cidra, the town where she was born and raised; guitar followed at 12 and her first band at 15. Now based in Sarasota, Bri Rivera sings and plays guitar across Latin fusion, funk, blues and rock, and bills her work as good music with a sense of humor. Her first Fogartyville show is built in three parts: a trio set, a set in a style the program calls Bohemia, and a full-band close with trombone, guitar and a special guest singer yet to be named.
