Josh Ritter -- FREE INSTORE
Josh Ritter In-Store Friday, April 16th - 7:00pm
Josh Ritter is coming back! We're working on some crazy ideas to make what will surely be an amazing night into something for the history books, so check your calendar. Josh's new release So Runs the World Away will be coming out May 4th, but as a special Record Store Day Eve treat we will have vinyl copies available at the in-store and they will include a full CD copy of the album! This will be your chance to get Josh's album over 2 weeks early.
If you are unfamiliar with Josh's music you should click over to his myspace page for a sample - Go ahead, we'll wait.
From a pure song-craft standpoint, there is no one currently working that does it better. Josh stands in my collection next to artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash and he doesn't flinch. Sadly, the world (except for the savvy Irish) has yet to fully appreciate Josh. Happily, it allows us the opportunity to offer up nights like this.
We've opened the guest list for this event to those who pre-order the CD/LP combination of So Runs the World Away and it's getting dangerously close to full, but if space allows, we will open it first come, first served when we get closer, but if you want to be sure you're here when it happens, a pre-order gets you guaranteed priority entry, a copy of our poster from the event, and the chance to support a great artist.
Josh was Tuesday's featured artist on Daytrotter, so click over and make your ears feel like your headphones are the best friend they ever had.
