Abba Roland is a dynamic and diverse creative artist, musician, composer, and touring singer-songwriter with roots in theatre, dance, and design. She has released two solo albums and has shared the stage with Coldplay, Sia, Bonnie Raitt, and P-Funk. “She is a thought-provoking lyricist with a singular style whose work blurs the lines between sharp comedy and cabaret, providing a unique human perspective.” — Rolling Stone

Abba hosts “Made in Vagina,” broadcasting out of Passenger Recover and Passenger Radio. The show features a range of eclectic artists—from times long ago to new artists—spanning Native American/First Nations, hip hop, classical, country, folk, and psychedelic punk-funk, voicing an empowered, balanced, female- and earth-conscious perspective. The show’s mission is to remind us about community, healing, and fellowship; and although we may all be different, we need the same things (love). “We all come from the same place — Made in Vagina.”

The fashion lines Nowaste Collective and Made in Vagina carry the same message and support recovery and health in our local communities.

Abba has spent much of her time between New York City, Woodstock, NY, and Los Angeles, but now happily calls Detroit home.

River Edwards is a highly regarded, award-winning spoken-word artist who has toured throughout the United States and Europe.

River was the Austin representative on the SlamAmerica bus tour and has opened for many rock acts, including Patti Smith and Ani DiFranco. He has also recently relocated to Detroit.

If “Passenger Recover” was meant to be “Passenger Recovery” or “Passenger Records,” say the word and I’ll adjust.
