Josh Ritter announces album details and tour

Out on March 3, it features ‘Girl In The War’, ‘Wolves’, ‘Monster Ballads’, ‘Lillian Egypt’, ‘Idaho’, ‘In The Dark’, ‘One More Mouth’, ‘Good Man’, ‘Best For The Best’, ‘Thin Blue Flame’ and ‘Here At The Right Time’.
You can cop a live earful at the Blackbox, Galway (March 5); An Grianan, Letterkenny (7); Dolan’s, Limerick (8); St. James’ Church, Dingle (9); Christchurch, Dublin (10); Everyman Theatre, Cork (12); and Vicar St., Dublin (May 12 & 13).
Tickets for the Vicar St. shows, which were added after Christchurch sold out in a day, go on sale at 9am on Friday January 27.
Ritter should be in peak physical condition having recently run his first marathon in Phoenix, Arizona in a highly impressive three hours and 32 minutes.
Support throughout is provided by Corb Lund, a “foothills-raised rodeo kid” from Southern Alberta whose Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer album includes a guest appearance by Dylan’s mate Ramblin’ Jack Elliot.
We’ll have more – much more – on the boy Ritter over the coming weeks.
