Good Old Local Music

October 2, 2023

Last Friday, Jim and I went to maybe our third concert at the Melon Ball. It’s Watermelon Music’s live music venue, oddly located in a strip mall of sorts way out in far northwest Davis. But hey, there’s parking and it’s pretty easy and close, as music venues go. (Better, by far, is the Mondavi, which is a pleasant walk for us. Cool to be able to walk to a world class venue and see folks like Itzhak Perlman or Bonnie Raitt or B.B. King or John Prine….)

At the Melon Ball, we saw Rita Hosking and she was so good. She plays with her partner Sean Feder and another guy who plays bass (I’ll be damned if I can find his name on her website — ritahosking.com — maybe you’ll have better luck). We were introduced to her (and band) probably at least ten years ago at the annual Home for the Holidays concerts (they’re regulars) and have really (really!) enjoyed her music.

Folk, country, americana.. story telling. Check her out.

A couple pics…

    I need to hire you. You are a good researcher! I looked and looked, and yes, under musicians! And YES.. it’s Bill Dakin, I remember that now.

    You’d think I never saw a pull down menu! I hovered over “about,” saw the word “musicians” and thought I was in the right place, w/o actually clicking on “musicians.” So I read the “about” section, thinking I’d find info on musicians, but couldn’t find the bass player’s name anywhere.

    Sigh. Back to internet school for me.
