Why you should see this show…
Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter is one of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices. He has been compared to everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan for his unique honky-tonk/folk-rock/alt-country vibe, but the person he most resembles, is Josh Ritter. His upbeat performances recall many of the greats, but he’s set apart on the music stage by his flexible lyric-mindedness. As a published author as well as singer-songwriter, Ritter knows his way around a story. So if you like stories about partying, living, dying, truth, or just plain gettin’ down, then have we got a show for you.
“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer.” – NPR Music
“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
“Mysterious, melancholy, melodic…and those are only the M’s.” — Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly
Josh Ritter Bio
About the new album Spectral Lines:
Josh Ritter has been thinking a lot about space exploration. It has nothing to do with his spellbinding new album, Spectral Lines, except that in a way, it really does.
“The Voyager spacecraft went up in ’77 and now it’s out there in a place that no one’s ever been before, and it’s sending back all these messages,” Ritter says. “I feel like songs do that in their own little way. They’re probes: they go out into the world, and sometimes you hear stories back from them, but really, they go off on their own.”
Ritter, too, is sending back messages, in the form of 10 new songs that are atmospheric and impressionistic. Like the recently launched Webb Telescope, or Voyager all those years ago, he’s looking for signs of life, reaching for a sense of commonality, something that feels universal in this infinite universe. Spectral Lines, his 11th album, finds those shared experiences in songs that push beyond the bounds of Ritter’s previous work. Recorded with longtime collaborator Sam Kassirer producing, it’s an album full of wonder and light as Ritter considers the ideas of love, devotion and what it means to be connected, to each other and to ourselves.
