Acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Ritter is returning to Montana in 2026 — performing at The ELM in Bozeman on April 15th and The Wilma in Missoula on April 16th! This is An Evening with show — no opener just Josh all night!
Widely regarded as one of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices, Ritter has released eleven studio albums across his two-decade career — including 2019’s Fever Breaks, praised by NPR Music for his “endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.” His new and twelfth studio album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, continues that legacy with the lyrical richness and emotional honesty that define his work.
Ritter’s music has resonated across generations, with icons like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs — a testament to the timeless quality of his writing. The upcoming Book of Gold Thrown Open Tour spans the entire arc of his career, giving fans the chance to hear beloved favorites like “Girl in the War,” “The Curse,” and “Getting Ready to Get Down,” alongside deeper cuts and new material.
Josh Ritter has delivered some unforgettable performances in Montana over the years — and he’s guaranteed to bring two more special nights this spring.
