Born in Moscow, Idaho, Josh Ritter has a very traditional story of his rise to success. Starting out playing small clubs and open mic nights around his college town he caught the eye of a an Irish band, the Frames, and eventually went back to Ireland with them to record and make music.
After learning how much he made on cd sales at open mic nights Josh Ritter was able to make enough money to stop odd coffee shop jobs and just do music full time. The following album, Golden Age of Radio cost Ritter only $1000 to make.
He was signed to V2 Records in 2005 and is currently touring in support of his latest album.
Varsity Theater tickets for Josh Ritter are on sale now and will sell out fast - all of Josh's shows have sold out at the Fine Line!

He's kinda cute!
OOo, I just spent fall semester abroad in London and did some traveling in Ireland, Josh's music was blowing up there... I can not wait for this show. And I agree with Cortney, he is cute in the scruffy I'm too much of a brooding artist to shave kind of way.
