Expect a flurry of activity starting in September!
Josh Ritter has confirmed the September 22 release of his ninth full-length album, Gathering, which gets a Royal City Band-assisted live airing at Vicar St., Dublin (December 7 & 8); Dolan’s, Limerick (10); and Opera House, Cork (11).
With it being the 15th anniversary of him first playing Vicar St. don’t be surprised if he’s joined by a few familiar faces!
Guesting on the new LP is Grateful Dead founder member Bob Weir with whom a real mutual admiration society has developed. Last year found Josh, a confirmed Deadhead, co-authoring Weir's solo album, and gigging with him.
“I began with an exciting sense of dissatisfaction, and what emerged, as I began to find my voice, was a record full of storms," Ritter says of his new creation.
