Josh Ritter

Before I forget, last week while in Austin Hubby and I went to see Josh Ritter in concert. It was special because it just happened to be my birthday and we just found out about the concert the night before. He performed at The Parish -- a small, intimate venue. Josh Ritter was amazing live. Loved how he interacted with the audience and recounted tales of his youth in Idaho -- especially during the song (and my fave) 'Kathleen' and finished it with part of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'. Shivers went down my spine when the lights were dimmed and he started playing the song 'Wings'. Must admit that it was the only time where I've been at a concert and they had to close the windows because the band playing at the bar next door was too loud! If you like folk-rock music and you've never heard Josh Ritter, check him out -- especially the CD "Hello Starling".
