Josh Ritter & Brett Dennen

Big Top is pleased to welcome two of the hippest Indie songwriters to the tent in an acoustic double bill. The New York Times says: “The literary-minded songwriter Josh Ritter…recharges his music on his eighth studio album, Sermon on the Rocks… Harking back to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.” Brett Dennen is a folk singer/songwriter and self-proclaimed “Wild Child.” He’s also a social activist striving for equality and peace, topics which find their way into his song lyrics along with themes of vulnerability and forgiveness.
