RITTER returns with ‘Noah’s Children’ ahead of September’s new album

FOLLOWING previous single, ‘You Won’t Dig My Grave,’ JOSH RITTER returns with ‘Noah’s Children’ ahead of next month’s ‘I Believe in You, My Honeydew,’ album, via Thirty Tigers.

“’Noah’s Children’ is a song about finding human justice for an unspeakable crime,” he said. “I had the rhyme scheme and melody for years, but no story. One day, I was looking at a painting by El Greco in an old art book of mine, and the whole idea fell out. I guess that I’d been writing it in the back of my mind for a long, long, while. My band understood this song almost immediately, and they sounded so good I kept listening to them and almost forgot to sing.”

Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), September’s album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano/organ/synth/accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic/electric bass/thumb piano/mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars/pedal steel/mandolin), and Ray Rizzo (drums/percussion).

Ritter promotes his new album this autumn with solo shows at the Los Angeles Masonic Lodge, Portland’s The Old Church, Seattle’s St. Mark’s Cathedral, and full band shows at New York’s Brooklyn Steel, Minneapolis Fitzgerald Theatre, Philadelphia’s Keswick Theatre, and Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre.
