LIVE MUSIC - RITA BLISS

  • Lockhart Arts & Craft 113 North Main Street Lockhart, TX, 78644 United States (map)

RITA BLISS - “Rita Bliss is a folk musician from Rochester, New York and is now based in Austin Texas. Though a Rust Belt native, Rita’s melodies are rooted in familiar old-time banjo sounds that evoke travels along the backroads of the South. Influenced by John Prine, Joni Mitchell, and Nanci Griffith, Rita’s songwriting weaves together timeless love stories with long drives, porch gatherings, and letters between loved ones. The love stories are unabashedly queer, the porch gatherings are sometimes rowdy, and the conversations often touch on true-to-life mental health challenges.

Rita is releasing two singles from her debut solo album, "Peaches and Apple Pies," in May and June of 2024. Produced by Grammy-nominated musician Dom Fisher, the album will feature "Drive You to Kentucky", "The Best Bar in Texas", and "Two Dollar Bill" with a release date of July, 2024. She'll be making stops in Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, and Nashville this spring and can otherwise be found in and around Austin.”
