Josh Ritter

Finally, someone from Idaho. From a small place in 1976 called Moscow, Idaho comes a budding American Singer-songwriter. With music influence by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, this soft sounding artist has come a long way through school and experiences to show the world his talent.

Ritter attended Oberlin College to study neuroscienc but later changed his major to the self-created "American History Through Narrative Folk Music". At the age of 21 Josh recorded his first album Josh Ritter at a recording studio on campus, 1999. Since then Ritter has produced over 22 albums, EP's, and singles.

Ritter has a soothing voice tone that meshes so well with his simple guitar that he uses most of the time. He writes about beautiful stories people can relate to and just think about while being soothed by his music. Coming from a small town Ritter never put himself in the celebrity scene. He is a genuine guy and has been rumored that his concerts are so personable and fun.

You can see and hear all about him at his website:  http://joshritter.com/
