Rita Hosking’s got the spirit, and she knows how to reach ours through her grace, heart, chops, and *****. With award-winning, original music spanning 9 albums and 20 years of touring, this country-folk troubadour is a heavy hitter in the Northern California songwriting scene.

Her homespun style of country-folk has been lauded for story and sense of place, and her performances praised for capturing the audience. She hails from Hatchet Mountain — a summit between Montgomery Creek and Burney, CA, and her voice is characterized as “a soulful howl from the mountains” by the California Bluegrass Association. A descendant of miners who sang in the mines of Cornwall and Grass Valley, CA, Rita grew up with deep regard for folk music and the power of the voice.

On special occasions, her whole quartet reconvenes as they’ve done vibrantly for nearly two decades. Hosking’s seasoned, longtime partner in song and versatile multi-instrumentalist is Sean Feder on dobro, banjo, guitar and voice. Bill Dakin adds heartfelt upright bass and voice, and Andy Lentz contributes outstanding fiddle playing.

Together, The Rita Hosking Band delivers what Acoustic Magazine calls “timeless, unhurried elegance.”
