Prior to moving to Saratoga Springs, NY in 2003, Ria performed her original songs at numerous New York City area venues, including the Meadowlands Race Track, CBGB's 313 Gallery, China Club, Wilson's & The Bitter End. In Saratoga, Ria performs at the Circus Cafe & the Inn At Saratoga, and has enjoyed sitting in at One Caroline, Bailey's, Panza's and Gaffney's.
Ria just recorded a "lazy-swing" jazz tune called "Summertown" for a Saratoga charity compilation album ("Saratoga Pie") produced by Grammy-winner Joel Moss, and Charlie Eble, and featuring some of Saratoga's best musical talent. Ria is also presently co-writing for other artists and recording an album of groove-oriented melodic rock originals, to come out this fall. In her free time, Ria dreams of singing a duet with Michael McDonald... and riding on the back of a giant sea turlte in the Galapagos Islands. :)
