Rita Hosking Trio–Saturday, July 1
Rita Hosking, one of California’s most genuine, heartfelt and original voices, visits Fifth Street again, with trio members Sean Feder and Bill Dakin. Rita writes personal yet universal songs full of deep feeling and humanity.“Rita Hosking’s ‘Burn’, one of the genuine surprises in a pretty decent year of music, is right up there with Gillian Welch’s ‘The Harrow and the Harvest’ in the ranks of intelligent, moving, rooted-in-real-folk-music singing and songwriting,” one writer says. Each in the trio is a top-quality musician. She’s one of our favorites. Check out her website and some tunes here.
