Mon, 07/15/2013 - 8:44am | Pieter Pastoor

 

Rita Hosking sings about forest fires but it is her that is setting the folk music scene on blaze. Her new album "Little Boat" appeared as #7 on the folk music charts and her single "Parting Glass" as #3. So listen in this Friday as we spend an hour with Rita and her guitar.

"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 major U.S. festivals 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.)

This past weekend I was invited to see and hear some live music at a new coffee shop in town. Nat Lefkoff was the first act and he blew me away. His vocals, lyrics, stage presence and a touch of mischief made him an instant must for this show. Fortunately I had an opening so get ready to spend an hour with Nat.

Nat will also be introducing his new CD.
