Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter will headline this year’s annual Fountain Day concert and festival, scheduled for April 26 on the Mount Vernon Campus.

Darius Zelkha, Ritter’s manager, confirmed in an e-mail that Ritter and his band will perform at the event.

Swetha Ramaswam, a member of the Mount Vernon Programming Council, the organization responsible for the event, said she could neither confirm nor deny Ritter’s performance.

In addition to the concert, Fountain Day traditionally features a host of student groups advocating different causes as well as activities like tie-dye and henna. Ramaswamy said that many organizations including Green GW, FMLA, GW STAND and NAACP have already confirmed participation and more are expected.

“.We’re working towards getting a lot of student organizations to pool together because this year our theme is ‘Awareness’,” Ramaswamy said.

Ritter’s latest album, “The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter,” was released in 2007. He is currently touring with Ingrid Michaelson and Langhorne Slim.

Last year’s Fountain Day performer was Ben Kweller and the year before the event featured Ben Lee and Aqualung.
