2011 Summer Concerts and 'Bright's Passage' Book Events Announced!


Happy Spring everyone,

We got some great events lined up for the Summer to tell you about - from solo shows to trio shows, from headline shows to festivals!  AND.....Josh will also be "touring" in a new way, as he makes his way around the coasts of the USA to talk about his new novel, Bright's Passage. Josh's debut novel comes out JUNE 28th!  You can pre-order on Amazon (http://amzn.to/j9lIf4) and download the first chapter for free (http://bit.ly/gTTADM).

Event highlights this Summer will include festivals like Appel Farm in NJ, Ottawa Blues Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Outside Lands in San Fran, and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival.  Then there's the shows with the Dave Matthews Band Caravan and The Old 97's!  Details below.....

And be sure to visit www.joshritter.com, Josh's headquarters.  There you'll find all the latest and greatest goings-ons (like his recently posted NPR "Tiny Desk" performance, here) and especially what's up in our Webstore, where there are new items and special offerings - like the limited edition tour scarves and posters.  Must haves for the big fan!


Now, onto the Summer Events!
