Sermon on the Rocks

Josh Ritter

A high-energy pivot toward 'messianic honky-tonk.' Sharp, biblical storytelling meets gritty New Orleans production and unexpected eighties-inspired textures.

October 16, 2015 · Not On Label (Josh Ritter Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A restless, literate energy that balances small-town grit with a sense of cosmic playfulness.
