Rita Hosking Trio

Arcata Playhouse

“In scorching form” (UK Telegraph), Northern California’s own Rita Hosking sings of forest fires, culture clash, demolition derbies, the working class and hope. From NPR’s Weekend Edition to Bob Harris’s BBC show, Rita is moving audiences around the globe with her stories in song and doubly sweet and sinewy voice, “a captivating performer,” (R2 Magazine.) Rita’s style of country-folk has been lauded for story and sense of place, and her performances praised for capturing the audience. Honors include winner of the 2008 Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Contest at the Sisters Folk Festival, finalist in the 2009 Telluride Music Festival Troubadour Contest, and honors in the International Songwriting Contest and West Coast Songwriters Association. “This California girl comes by her mountain-music sensibility with true authenticity, with original songs deeply rooted in her family’s frontier experience,” (Dan Ruby, FestivalPreview.com) and Rita’s fans call her “the real deal”. Come Sunrise, Rita’s 2009 record, won Best Country Album Vox Pop in the 2010 Independent Music Awards. Burn, from 2011, was placed in the top 10 “Young Female Artist releases for 2011” by No Depression magazine, and listed as a “Hidden Gem of 2011” by the UK’s Observer. Both Come Sunrise and Burn were produced by Rich Brotherton—producer, engineer, and guitar player in the Robert Earl Keen Band. Rita’s latest 2013 release, Little Boat, was made at Ace Recording, and was selected by the UK Telegraph as one of the “Top 10 Country Albums of 2013.” In live performance, Rita will play as “The Rita Hosking Trio” with Bill Dakin added on upright bass.
