Bio
Tova Rinah's name is Hebrew for Good Song of My Heart. Tova has been livin' life aware of the constant tending the heart needs to grow. Alongside this awareness, she has an appreciation for the vernacular and a gift for teaching. Therefore, Miss Rinah has a message to sing, to deliver, to be heard and received.
Everyone has heard it said in one way or another that true songwriters are merely receptors of songs that are floatin' around on the airwaves waitin' to be caught. With a well-tended heart, wait 'til you hear the songs, the melodies, the movement this songstress catches, like a seed adrift in the wind. In fertile heart soil, the seed is planted and a song and a message have emerged like a Live Oak on a sun-drenched hill in the Southland with roots that go way down deep into the timelessness of folk music.
Stretching towards the left, a hardy branch of this musical tree is Bluegrass infused, the branch to the right is Country laced and in the middle Celtic melodies and Gypsy harmonies intertwine and reach high.
Each song, each message unfurls beautifully from the flowers and fruit of this musical tree.
In the Summer of '09, the message-rich album Golden Opportunity was harvested. In it's title track, jangly licks from a resonator guitar, the persistence of Upright and the steadiness of an acoustic present an anthem to live by..."It's our Golden Opportunity, our time like no other. To rise above the natural, to soar above otherwise disasters."
Listen to the heartfelt piano and rustic Dobro in the epic folk song, Different Kind of Light gently sound a warning..."Throughout the fields the heart walks through, there are mines to your left and right. As careful as you want to be, they're hidden out of your sight. You cannot use your eyes. You need a different kind of light."
With the strength of the fiddle and a touch of pedal steel, the awakening message of Long, Long road unveils itself within a Celtic melody...."Above and below, there are other scenes that roll on simultaneously."
Listen to her songs. Songs from a well-tended heart are resourceful tools for your own heart tending, tilling, planting and harvesting.
