Jonathan Richman

LIVE! ON STAGE: JONATHAN RICHMAN featuring TOMMY LARKINS on the drums!

While Jonathan Richman was first recognized for his early 70s proto-punk band, the Modern Lovers, this acclaimed musician evolved into an acoustic balladeer, writing, recording and performing his sincere and open hearted songs, often in a variety of languages. He’ll be joined by his longtime collaborator Tommy Larkins. 

“The music we're doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don't use a program or a set list so we don't know what we'll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. Many singers my age do a retrospective; this show is not like that. It's mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. Some of the songs presented might be in different languages; this is not to be esoteric or clever, it's because the different languages help me express different feelings sometimes. One last thing, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It's about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt.” - Jonathan
