Brooks Ritter debuted his newest album, Stereo of Steel, on August 26, 2016. Ritter is a Louisville, Kentucky native musician, and his music ranges from “soul to roots music, with a little indie-rock.” Stereo of Steel follows the same pattern with 10 original songs. Ritter has toured with various bands during his music career, including Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek, Greg Laswell, Anderson East, Zella Day, Ben Sollee, and others.
“With a voice that rises up and sits somewhere between Adele and John Legend, Ritter exposes his listeners to a harmonious concoction of acoustic tenderness, gospel soul, Kentucky country, and expressive rock,” Caleb Murphy said, describing the soul of Ritter’s music. Murphy is the founder of Musicateur Magazine — an independent, local music magazine in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and is a fellow musician based in western Pennsylvania.
Ritter’s new album, Stereo of Steel, is available August 26 on iTunes and Ritter’s website. He plans to eventually release the album on vinyl. He began writing songs in 2004, and released his first album, The Horse Fell Lame in 2009; The War released in 2011, and Gather Round also in 2011.
Brooks Ritter and the Lower Lights has played at several music festivals, including Seven Sense Festival, Bicentennial Fest, and Folk Fest.
