Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released eleven studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed, Fever Breaks, of which NPR Music praised, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.”
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.”
Here’s a note from Josh:
Hey Everyone!!! I have a new song, "You Won’t Dig My Grave" [http://joshritter.ffm.to/ywdmg], out now. It's the opening track on my upcoming album, ‘I Believe in You, My Honeydew’ [http://joshritter.ffm.to/honeydew], which is out 9/12/25. I'm really, really excited about this record.
As you can imagine, the Royal City Band and I are really looking forward to hitting the road this Fall, playing a bunch of these new songs, and a load of other things as well.
When a bunch of people partake in music together, the bonds of the material world fray and we can sometimes hear other voices more clearly. Certainly, that’s why I play at all. It is a magical experience and that door stands open to all of us. Come and be a part.
