Boise will mark the United States’ 250th anniversary with a concert headlined by Idaho-born singer-songwriter Josh Ritter, who is set to top the bill at the city’s America250 celebration. The event honors the semiquincentennial of American independence and highlights the Treasure Valley’s connection to homegrown artistic talent.
Ritter, who hails from Moscow, Idaho, has built a national following over a career spanning more than two decades, earning a reputation as one of the most celebrated songwriters to emerge from the Gem State. His selection to headline the Boise event underscores the local pride surrounding the milestone commemoration.
