Josh Ritter
Paste magazine has called him one of the "100 Greatest Living Songwriters."

Most everybody agrees Josh Ritter is a rare talent. He will woo you from the stage of the Fitzgerald at this final Wits show of the season, where you can also be one of the first to get his new novel, "Bright's Passage" (out in bookstores June 28, 2011). It's a book that inspired Pulitzer Prize-winning author Debby Applegate say "In his debut novel Josh Ritter displays the same love of language and historical detail, the same irresistible combination of wit and earnestness, that make him such a brilliant songwriter. He's created a genuine work of literature."
