The other day I got to talk with Josh Ritter, one of my favorite singer songwriters today. I was writing an article on his show tonight at Lewis Ginter and I contacted his publicist to get an interview and she responds with his cell phone number. Yes, you read that right.
This was the first time I've ever interviewed someone of this caliber before. Most of the people I meet are local artists. You can now understand a bit of my excitement/hesitation to call him?
I get a hold of Mr. Ritter and he couldn't be nicer. Very chill and down to earth. I ask my basic questions about what he's working on and music he likes. Then, he turns to tables and asks me what music I'm into, what the city is like, things like that. So my interview turns into two guys shooting the breeze - way too cool for words. I was trying like crazy not to squeal like a little girl.
Now I can't wait for his show tonight. It's an outdoor show at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. Hope it doesn't get rained out.

you kick ass!
that is amazing and i'm super jealous.
Wow, very cool! I love his music, must have been great to talk to him.
The concert was incredible, as I expected it to be. I've been a fan of Ritter since early 2007, and was excited to finally see him in person. My wife and kids (5 and 1; daughter Sophia is already a Ritterhead) drove down from No. Va. for the show. It was worth the 1.5 hrs. each way and the rain before the show started.
Great performer. I can't wait to see him again.
