Singer/songwriter Rita Hosking, from Northern California, returns for her second appearance at Caltech. She continues to gain attention for her original songs and her personable style.

She was winner of Best Country Album (Vox Pop) in the 2010 Independent Music Awards, winner of the ’08 Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Contest at the Sisters Folk Festival, finalist in the 2009 Telluride Troubadour Contest, and has other credits as well.

She may remind you of Kate Wolf and Gillian Welch, but she is very much her own performer. She proves that you can have genuine rural folk music from California (she was raised in Shasta County), and she’s written lots of fine songs from that setting. See her web site, ritahosking.com

Tickets: $15 / $5 for Caltech students and children
