Ritter is undeniably the best artist that has come around in a very long time. Not only was it the start to his tour this year, but the new elements he added to his performance were unforgettable. I also had the opportunity to meet him after the show and he is always so gracious. Thank you all for allowing ME to be a part of something so spectacular!

Josh as he was meant to be - just him and his guitar... occasionally joined by Zac on the upright bass. This show was incredible.

This was my favorite show yet. I love that Josh Ritter accomplishes so much with just a guitar and his voice. He's incredible and interactive with the crowd. I've never seen someone so genuinely happy to play.

Josh Ritter is an amazingly talented artist. He sets the mood right away and brings you on a journey through his music with some narrative. He makes you feel like you have known him for years as he invites you into his world to experience his prospectives and life moments.

These gents know all about musicianship. Josh & Zach have always been great writers/performers, but with the addition of a horn section & roses all over the stage, not to mention the wonderful orchestration...WELL! These fellas have graduated up to the next rank of ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

It was a very good show, especially when the band was playing with Ritter, as there was a beat and the crowd could get a little more into it....people weren't quite jumping for that most part, but there was a good atmosphere.

To accurately write this review, I must start off by saying how kind and accommodating the venue and its staff are. And secondly, the show itself. Scott Hutchinson as the opener was a phenomenal act in and of himself. His voice is smooth and carried well over his acoustic guitar to fill the room with warm tones. Then the big guy came on. Josh Ritter opened the show with a solo acoustic song that set the pace and positive mood of the rest of the show. If you have never seen Josh Ritter live, you are missing out. Not only does he sound just as good live as his recordings, but his energy and his personality make him that much more enjoyable to watch. This past show was probably one of the greatest of my life thus far. I will be sure to make it a point to catch Josh Ritter whenever he comes around next.

Love Josh's music and lyrics. My second time seeing him.
The lighting effects in the beginning of the show were very distracting. We were there to listen to Josh’s lyrics and his music, it’s not a rock-show. The set was very, very short, not worth the effort or the cost to trek up to LA.
He sang one of the songs I was looking forward to, ‘Thin Blue Flame’, without the PA. I could barely hear it, especially with noise in the back of the room. What was up with that?
Bottom Line: We wanted to hear good, live music and get our entertainment value for our dollars and The Music Box Sucks!
Josh is a must see, in a smaller venue that isn't trying to get you out for the DJ CLUB show that followed.

From his insistent grin, his incredible talent, and his moving songs, this man made my night. I first saw him open for Ray LaMontagne in London and I had no idea who he was, but seeing him onstage front and center with that incredible brass band just moved me to tears, made me dance, made me hold my man a little closer and made me cheer. Thank you, Josh, for an unforgettable night.

Seeing Josh RItter live in concert was an out of body experience. Amazing, amazing show. You can tell he's almost happier to just be playing then you are listening...it's so refreshing to see an artist be so greatful to have the ability to share his gift. 5 stars.
