Jonathan Richman has been writing songs, making records, and performing live for most of his life, winning fans and making friends around the world with his guileless honesty and playfully catchy compositions. He's revered by countless fellow artists and has built a remarkably loyal international audience through his tireless touring. His deceptively straightforward songs embody timeless qualities of humanity, optimism, emotional insight, and a boundless sense of humor, untainted by cynicism or transient notions of hipness.
Jonathan's fans have remained fiercely devoted over the years, and his audience expanded substantially in the 1990s, thanks to his frequent guest spots on TV's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, his prominent appearance in the 1998 film comedy smash There's Something About Mary, and the inclusions of his Modern Lovers classics "Ice Cream Man" and "I'm A Little Airplane" on Sesame Street. Drummer Tommy Larkins and Jonathan will once again put on a perfectly intimate, yet wild dance party-like show on The Backstage, one of the coolest ways to see this amazing duo!
