“Her sound is a mixture of Norah Jones and Emmy Lou Harris; this Thunder Bay native is an original.”

​
Born and raised on the shores of Lake Superior in rural Thunder Bay, Rita’s voice wraps the audience in a warm blanket as they join her around the campfire.
​
A natural storyteller, Rita weaves together daily moments, family life, conversations with friends, and interactions with new people to share her own story through song.
​
The reflective ballads about her life experiences are described as pure, emotional, and straightforward – always telling it like it is – and always leaving the audience wanting more.
​
As someone who grew up on a rustic fishing island, preserving Canada’s lakes is near to Rita’s heart. Through song, she is able to create a melodic image that pulls the audience in. Inviting them to experience the serenity and sense of power that comes when sitting on the water’s edge.
​
Rita's latest album, Northern Daydream by Rita & the Daydreamers, has many drawn references inspired by our Canadian waters, including songs such as: "Skippin’ Stones", "Batchawana Bay", "The Helm", and "The Current". This summer she plans to tour the Northshore yet again.
