Saturday evening, cool off with a drive up to Gray Pine Farm for dinner and some incredible Bluegrass/Americana music. Shasta County native Rita Hosking will be there with her band, Cousin Jack. Sharing the bill is North Carolina band Dehlia Low.

Rita charms audiences every time she comes to town. Her voice is magical and her songwriting is always poignant and poetic. Her Shasta County roots run deep, and her story songs are vivid and brilliantly crafted. Winner of the Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Contest, Rita's toured in Europe and recently finished recording her fifth CD.

Here's one of my favorites:


Craig and I are looking forward to some amazing musicianship and great harmonies from Dehlia Low. We caught them on TV a while back and were impressed with their soulful bluegrass-country tunes.

Cool mountain breeze, cool mountain music -- should be a perfect evening out at Gray Pine Farm.
