The Singer and the Song welcomes Rita Bliss. Rita is an old-school folk musician, a banjo player originally from Rochester, New York who now calls Austin home. She makes music in the true folk tradition, with songs that are designed to fight for justice, equality, and queer acceptance, everything that Woody Guthrie would love to hear in 2026. Rita is the real deal, as you will hear when she plays live for us the whole hour on KOOP 91.7 FM and koop.org, 3-4pm, Saturday, January 3rd. By the way, you have until Saturday afternoon to listen to the last two episodes (George Ensle, Fred Schneider of the B-52s). The Singer and the Song – KOOP Radio 91.7 FM
