Josh Ritter pens another novel, embarks on solo tour

Acclaimed writer and Americana musician Josh Ritter confirms a select run of fall tour dates to celebrate the release of his forthcoming novel, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, set for release on September 7 via HarperCollins.

Tickets for the intimate solo performances begin Friday, July 23 at 10AM local time at joshritter.com/#tourdates. Full routing can be found below, which also includes details on Ritter’s book tour dates.

“Now I get the chance to perform again. I’m so excited I almost can’t contain it,” says Ritter. “I want my first set of shows in a year and a half to be in places that will allow me to sing some of the stranger, quieter, more narrative songs that I may not always get to at a rock show. I want the venues to be special and beautiful, I want laughter and music and stories that are true even if they’re unreal. Finally, I want to perform again, stomp the dust off, see what new appendages and teeth and claws have grown from this time in the wilderness, see what joy can come from sorrow and what tears can come from joy.”

The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All is a novel about a young boy’s coming-of-age during the last days of the lumberjacks. The national bestselling author calls it “the kind of tender-hearted, rowdy adventure story that I’ve wanted to write since I grew up on the side of a mountain in Idaho.” Fans can pre-order The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All HERE.
