In a wavy world where we often struggle to swim, singer-songwriter Rita Hosking paddles up and canoes us through black holes, sinks of dirty dishes, demo-derbies, and wildfires until we’re safe at shore. She’s got the spirit, and she knows how to reach ours. With her grace, heart, chops, and spunk, this country-folk troubadour is a heavy hitter in the Northern California songwriting scene.

Hosking’s longtime partner in song and versatile multi-instrumentalist is Sean Feder on dobro, banjo, guitar and voice. Feder, a consummate accompanist, has over three decades of eclectic musical experience with a strong penchant towards everything rooted in rhythm. Rounding out the trio is Bill Dakin with his soulful and sensitive playing on upright bass and voice. All together, the three deliver what Acoustic Magazine calls “timeless, unhurried elegance.”
