Description
School Of Rock made Rivkah Reyes famous at 10. What came next was a lot harder: years of bullying, a detour into raunchy comedy, and an addiction she had to fight her way out of. Now sober and fronting her own project, she’s making what she calls Sapphic doom, and her new EP, Fan Favorite, is the result. She takes us from the Battle of the Bands to being known as Butthole Girl, and what Stevie Nicks told her on opening night of the Broadway show.
…Hang on a minute… Butthole Girl?
