An underground, nostalgic bluegrass artist.
Rita Bliss is an Austin-based folk musician who captures moments, memories, and conversations in song. A Rust Belt native, her melodies are rooted in the old-time banjo sounds of Appalachia and sung with a vaguely upstate-New York accent. From the open landscapes of Texas to the bitter winters of the Northeast, Rita has collected truth, fiction, and many musical influences along the way. Queer love stories, painful goodbyes, and rowdy gatherings unfold in her songs with sincerity and adopted Southern charm.
Rita Bliss plays traditional-leaning folk and Americana music centered around old-time banjo melodies and Appalachian roots.
Rita Bliss is originally from Rochester, New York, and is currently based in Austin, Texas.
