Josh Ritter News

We've got a big surprise for Josh Ritter fans today. Ritter - one of our 100 Best Living Songwriters out there - is releasing a six-track EP on Feb.

It often has been said that all rock stars want to be actors - that's why you see them popping up in movies so frequently.

Josh Ritter may originally hail from Idaho, but his First Night show at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton will have a definite homecoming feel to it.

Like many of its events, the turnout was impressive. "We had a lot of people show up this time," said Jenn Northington, the event manager of offered donuts and cider, showings of holiday films, and appearances by more than ten authors including Josh Ritter , Sarah MacLean , Michael Showalter , Haley Tanner and Peter Brown .
