About the Artist

THE BAND:

Christine Mikulskis, “Rosie”, co-founded Rosie & The Rivets in late 2015 with the desire to create a fresh act that faithfully conveys the music and visual excitement of the 1950’s and early 1960’s. With an extensive theater and musical background, Christine brings “Rosie” to life onstage with boundless energy and passion for the genre. Her expertise behind the scenes assures Rosie & The Rivets is not a typical band, but a professional and dynamic stage show. Her powerful and versatile vocal stylings have been compared to Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Karen Carpenter, Little Richard and LaVerne Baker. Not only a talented musician, she has modeled for numerous ad campaigns, including: Chanel, Allstate, Windex and Ad Council. As an actress, she has been featured on several national TV shows, most recently “Happily Never After’ on the Investigative Discovery channel.
