Josh Ritter May 2, 2008

In the most aw-shucks, unassuming fashion, Idaho-born Josh Ritter is re-wiring the circuitry of American songwriting. Based on the strength of his critically acclaimed album, he has been splitting his time between the United States and Ireland, where he is selling out clubs and small theaters. Ingrid Michaelson serves up infectious melodies, smooth vocals and smart lyrics. Her songs have appeared on episodes of TV shows like 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'One Tree Hill' and 'Kyle XY.'
