Featured Review from ChicagoInnerview
May 31, 2012When it comes to devout cult followings, Jonathan Richman is the Monty Python of music. His days fronting legendary proto-punks The Modern Lovers queued a fanbase that remains with him today. Some 30-odd years and more than 20 albums later, Richman maintains the same boyish persona as he did in his Roadrunner days in Boston. more at chicagoinnerview.com

Featured Review from flavorpill
May 30, 2012“With today’s rapidly evolving and perishing trends, staying relevant in rock seems almost impossible. Spanning decades and genres from proto-punk to acoustic pop, Jonathan Richman seems to have effortlessly accomplished this feat without the help of Facebook, Twitter, or even having merch for sale at his shows. Known widely for his troubadour cameo roles in films such as Kingpin and There’s Something About Mary, Richman morphed from the youthful leader of the Modern Lovers in 1970 to wide-eyed singer-songwriter pop optimist with an almost cinematic arc. After 21 albums and countless years of crisscrossing the country in a van, Richman and collaborator Tommy Larkins continue to wow crowds with handfuls of songs sung in Spanish and Hebrew, frequent bouts of dancing, and heart-warming storytelling. Almost equally at home in large venues as in-store performances, check out the rock icon tonight as he holds court at Millennium Park.”
