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.”
