SUMMARY:An Evening with Josh Ritter: A Book of Gold Thrown Open
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Instructional		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOne of today’s most prolific voices\, Josh Ritter has released twelve  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.”  \n \nHis twelfth studio album ‘I Believe in You\, My Honeydew’ is out now. Two-plus decades into his celebrated career\, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan\, Joan Baez\, and Bob Weir covering his songs. \n \nCelebrated for his richly crafted storytelling\, heartfelt lyrics\, and enchanting blend of folk\, rock\, and Americana\, Ritter’s songs are often rooted in personal experiences and historical themes. The New York Times reflects\, “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.” \n \nThe Book of Gold Thrown Open Tour is meant to encompass the whole of Ritter’s career\, versus focusing on any one studio album. \n \nIn 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.” ​ \n \nJoin us at Caffè Lena for a rare opportunity to see Josh Ritter solo in our intimate listening room and immerse yourself in the heartfelt storytelling and rich melodies that define his music. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \n“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 \n \n“Mysterious\, melancholy\, melodic…and those are only the M’s.” – Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
