Josh Ritter I A Book Of Golden Throne Open 2026 Tour

Josh Ritter brings his A Book of Gold Thrown Open 2026 tour to Bo’s Bar & Stage in Red Deer on March 26, 2026. Singer, songwriter and storyteller, the American artist has spent more than two decades shaping a folk and Americana repertoire where images, characters and everyday scenes lead the way. Across twelve studio albums, from his early independent releases to the recent I Believe in You, My Honeydew, he’s built a songbook that moves between hushed ballads and steady, guitar-led grooves, always anchored by clear melodies and precise writing.

This tour is designed as a wide-angle view of his catalog rather than a focus on one album. Expect a set that draws freely from each period, allowing the lyrics to take center stage and the arrangements to breathe. Ritter’s songs have found new lives in the voices of others, with artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir covering his work, a sign of melodies and stories that travel well. Also an author of two novels, he approaches the stage with the same attention to narrative: scenes sketched in a few lines, refrains that stick, and a flow that carries from one chapter of his career to the next.
