Dwight Ritcher has a voice which invites unique connection to a song. His phrasing is understated, warm, and moving, but at a turn, dynamically proud and powerful. While consumed with songwriting, Mr. Ritcher finds so much artistry in the moment of interpretation. When asked about this, Ritcher states, "I give all I have, and am always looking." A humble response from an artist on the brink of national attention.
His new release, "Radioman," is stirring up major label interest, and getting heavy college/alt radio spins. Ritcher's song, "Something Special," off his last record, "Drive around Town," has just been picked up by Lifetime Television to be used on their show, "Missing," airing in January.
Ritcher has also finished up filming a featured spot in "Where's the music At?" a documentary about ten unsigned artists in NYC, which will be airing in independent theaters next year. He takes all this in stride. "This year has been a busy one... a year full of change. I'm grateful for all the new fans, and experiences, and I'm proud of my records - they're each a step in my
history."

Hi Dwight. I was at work, listening to my Ipod when you popped up on it. I sat there and listened and smiled because the music was so good but also because the soul of the person who was singing is just wonderful also!
