OMG!! The line up for this year’s Rendezvous in the Park was just 
announced and I was ecstatic to see that Moscow’s own Josh Ritter will 
take the stage. I was introduced to Josh’s music shortly after moving to 
Moscow three years ago, and have seen him twice: once at the University of 
Idaho’s University Auditorium and the other time in Boise. We made the six-
hour plus drive on a Saturday and returned to Moscow on a Sunday, but it 
was well worth it. Josh’s accoustic performance of tracks from 2006’s 
Animal Years in Moscow and his rockin’ performance that included music 
from his latest CD “The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter” had me 
itching for a return hometown performance. And here it is…. Once tickets 
go on sale, I am so there….

Did I mention he sticks around after each show to meet all his fans? Very 
exciting!

Oh, and here is the rest of the line up……

Ritter returns to Moscow for summer Rendezvous
Organizers of Rendezvous in the Park, Moscow’s annual summer concert 
series, have announced this year’s festival lineup. 

The series will take place July 16-18 in East City Park on Third Street in 
Moscow.

Singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez will open the festival on July 16. A 
Brooklyn, N.Y.-based fiddler, Rodriguez recently released her second 
album, “She Ain’t Me.” In December, she was honored by the Roots Music 
Association as “Songwriter of the Year” in the folk category. Her Web site

Finally, Moscow native Josh Ritter will return to his hometown on July 18
