Valentine's Day Dedications in Philly, NY, Boston & DC

That's right: here's your chance.  One of the fun, unique things Josh and the band will be doing for the "Valentine's Day Brawl" shows will be taking dedications!  So if you'd like to hear Josh mention that certain sentiment, for that certain someone of yours - from the stage - here's what you can do....

Visit http://www.joshritter.com/dedications.  There, choose the show you'll be at, and enter a short (please!) message devoted to someone special there with you.  Sorry, this isn't for song requests.  But, while on stage during the show, Josh and the guys will be randomly picking out dedications to read for all to hear.

Be part of the show!

"Change of Time" Featured in New Film Trailer for "The Other Woman"

Very cool!  We're excited to share with you all that Josh's song "Change of Time" is featured prominently in the preview trailer for the new Natalie Portman film "The Other Woman."  It's amazing to know this song will be heard by many more people.

To see the trailer, click here (imdb) or here (youtube).

And look for the film at your local multiplex!

Rainn Wilson's Celebrity iTunes Podcast

Speaking of really cool shoutouts, you don't get much cooler than Rainn Wilson (we're huge fans).  Especially when he's spreading the Ritter love, like he's doing again in his Celebrity Podcast released last week on iTunes.

In it, Rainn talks about his favorite artists and bands of all time, with great insight and song clips.  We're psyched to be hearing him mention Josh, and notably the song "Lantern."  VERY cool.

To hear the podcast, click here.  The entire thing is awesome.  But, if you did want to hear the Josh segment, it's at approximately 24:40.

Right on, Rainn!

Cold?  Check Out These New Scarves!

We're always psyched about rolling out new merch for fans to spread the word - especially when it looks this good....

Out on the road for these upcoming tours of the US and Europe will be new merch for sale, most notably the Josh Ritter scarf.

Check it out here on Twitter. 

Again, these will be for sale at the upcoming shows, but don't forget about the great stuff like 'mummy' hoodies, the 'Kathleen' and 'Folk Bloodbath' shirts in the official online store, here.

Enjoy!  Wear with pride....
