Rita

Bio:

Rita (Ritischka) Burkholder loves the accordion, the ukulele, horns, bells whistles, wailing trombones and tears. She writes about the one thing she knows about most. Heartache. Songs have a funny way of creeping up on her and she has a way of pinning their wings to the wall while maintaining the integrity of their stories. She recently returned from a successful month long tour of Berlin, Germany in Nov/Dec 2009 and April 2010! and has played DIY style at local pubs and coffeehouses and busked up and down the east coast and south. She toured in 2008 with the Vermillion Lies Sisters from New York City @ the Zipper Factory down the East Coast as well as with quirky local band the Counter Clock Wise. She just finished a week long February tour of the south with Kim Boekbinder. She is planning to tour again this summer and fall. If you are willing to donate a gallon of gas for tour she would love you and blow you kisses!!!! If you like what you hear send a message or try listening to her cd (available via paypal , below). Check out her collaborative work with songster Alex Ward @ Alex and Rita, also on myspace! Thanks for popping in to see what's new!Thanks for your support!
