Josh Ritter brings his richly crafted songwriting to Bristol Beacon. Across more than two decades, the acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician has built a catalogue full of vivid storytelling, thoughtful observations and songs that linger long after they’re over.
With twelve studio albums to his name, including the widely praised Fever Breaks, Ritter’s music has earned admiration from artists including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir. His latest album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, continues that tradition, pairing intricate songwriting with his distinctive voice and warm, expressive arrangements.
Expect an intimate evening of beautifully written songs, sharp storytelling and one of contemporary folk’s most enduring voices.
