Knickerbocker: Riley Cotton

Riley Cotton is an old-school songwriter based in Hartford, CT: Armed with an acoustic guitar, she writes songs that paint the emotional context in which we make life’s most consequential decisions. Riley has been nominated for a New England Music Award, was written up in CT Magazine, and in 2024, appeared in “Divine Renovation,” an Amazon Prime series starring Erik Estrada.

“songs and performance are able to cross space and time to touch that part of your brain where love, loss, happiness, and longing all co-exist.” – Chip McCabe, Hartford Courant
