Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist, and best-selling author Josh Ritter has announced the continuation of his headlining tour this fall, featuring a series of newly confirmed shows across the United States. The upcoming shows, along with his currently ongoing spring tour, are a celebration of Ritter’s latest album, Spectral Lines, which was released last month via Thirty Tigers.

The fall tour will kick off on Sept. 29 at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas and make stops at prominent venues, including the Heights Theater in Houston, the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Los Angeles’ The Belasco, The Fillmore in San Francisco, and the Moore Theatre in Seattle, among others through Oct. 11. Ritter will be joined on stage by his esteemed band, The Royal City Band.

While currently embarked on his spring headline tour, Ritter has been captivating audiences with his live performances, including sold-out shows at Thalia Hall in Chicago, Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC, House of Blues in Boston, and Beacon Theatre in New York.

Produced by his long-time collaborator Sam Kassirer (known for his work with Lake Street Dive and Langhorne Slim), Spectral Lines represents a departure from Ritter’s previous works, delving into a more atmospheric musical landscape. The album, dedicated to the memory of his mother, explores the most universal concepts of love, devotion, and connection—both with others and ourselves—across its ten seamless tracks.

Tickets for Ritter’s upcoming fall dates go on sale Friday, May 12, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Learn more and find tickets here.
