Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author celebrated for his narrative-driven songwriting that blends folk, Americana, and rock influences. One of today’s most prolific voices, his music often explores themes of love, politics and mythology, delivered with both warmth and intelligence. Ritter’s 2019 album Fever Breaks, produced by Jason Isbell, marked a darker, more politically charged tone while retaining his signature storytelling flair.

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All and 2011’s Bright’s Passage. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”

“Harking back to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.” ~ The New York Times
