Rita Hosking Trio

Rita Hosking writes and sings classic country-folk originals. Her songs sound like they've been around for a while and deserve to stay around a lot longer!
Rita grew up in Northern California in a haunted house on Hatchet Mountain, according to a story she told NPR's Weekend Edition and now lives in Davis
."She's been called the best kept secret in country-folk," says the British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "and her razor-sharp songs and great live performances
bear out the claim." Acoustic Magazine praises her "timeless, unhurried elegance." She's released an album every two years since 2005, including her sixth and
latest, Frankie and the No-Go Road, which The Guardian describes as "a reckoning with hope, disappointment, and hard-won wisdom," bringing together "
archetypal psychology and country music" to make "one of Americana's finest concept albums," showcasing Rita's "sure musical touch and
distinctive homespun vocal style."

"Heartfelt country soul set by someone who has quietly become one of the best...Hosking is a real talent, and sits up alongside Nanci Griffith
as someone who understands the human heart and can touch it every single time."
--Jeremy Searle, Maverick Magazine
