Kevin Morby, the Kansas City-born singer-songwriter and acclaimed musical auteur, brings his 2026 world tour to The Ritz. Following the release of his eighth studio album, Little Wide Open (Dead Oceans), Morby continues to explore the landscapes of American life, love, and loss through his singular blend of indie rock, Americana, and vividly lyrical storytelling.
Produced by Aaron Dessner, Little Wide Open is set against highways, small towns, and the restlessness of life on the road. It features a host of collaborators including Amelia Meath, Justin Vernon, Katie Gavin, Lucinda Williams, and more, combining Morby’s intimate narratives with expansive, lush arrangements. Lead single “Javelin” exemplifies the album’s themes of travel, longing, and return, with Meath’s vocals weaving seamlessly with Morby’s.
The album has been described as Morby’s most personal and vulnerable work yet, reflecting on both middle America and his current life in Los Angeles. Drawing listeners into worlds both familiar and unseen, his songs balance tenderness with wide-open ambition, offering rich storytelling framed by meticulously crafted melodies.
Expect an evening of immersive, evocative music that captures Morby’s restless, poetic vision, from tender reflection to full-bodied arrangements that linger long after the final note.
