Rita Hosking, a descendant of Cornish tin miners who
immigrated to California, was raised as a mountain girl in Shasta County in a
family where singing was very important. Her unique voice and sense of place
and story have been captivating audiences in the US and the UK in coffee
houses, folk clubs, performing arts centers and festivals big and small for the
past 12 years, as well as resulting in 6 albums of her music. In addition to
performing with her full band (Rita Hosking and Cousin Jack), she also performs
in a duo, delivering her soul-stirring songs with authenticity, accompanied by
her husband, Sean Feder, on sparkling banjo, soulful dobro, and occasional
harmony. "Her songs are observational, political, and philosophical in an
unaffected, organic way" (Songlines Magazine).

guitar work. |

The Goodbye Girls featuring Molly
Tuttle |
|
|
The Goodbye Girls are an exciting new quartet from Boston. These four musicians from the US, Canada, and Sweden formed the band out of a common love for old-time, traditional bluegrass and Swedish traditional music. Lena Jonsson on fiddle, Allison de Groot on clawhammer banjo, Brittany Karlson on bass, and Molly Tuttle on guitar & lead vocals are individually some of the best acoustic musicians around, and together they create a sound that is exciting, fresh and full of energy. With international tours under their belt, bookings at festivals like Newport Folk Festival & Stockholm Folk Festival, reaching #1 on the Americana airplay direct charts, The Goodbye Girls are turning heads right out of the gate. The band has a dedication to honoring the musical styles in which they are rooted, and together they are re-imagining the repertoire in a unique and exciting way. Their original material sits comfortably between a raging old-time tune, a traditional bluegrass song or a Swedish polska in a playful balance between new and old. http://www.thegoodbyegirlsmusic.com |
