LIVE! ON STAGE JONATHAN RICHMAN featuring TOMMY LARKINS on the drums!
December 8, 2016 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM
HE’S BACK!
One of the true godfathers of punk, Jonathan Richman, amazing performer and 100% real deal, comes back to Holland on 12.9 w/ Tommy Larkins on the drums.
From late 1970 to early 1974, Richman fronted the Modern Lovers, a Boston-based band that is vital link in the punk rock history chain, serving as a bridge between the proto-punk of The Velvet Underground and the full-on explosions of 1976 set off by the Ramones and Sex Pistols. The Lovers played with a raw emotional verve, singing songs like Astral Plane, I’m Straight and Roadrunner, that dismissed the excess and hedonism of 1970s and celebrated simplicity, honesty and compassion. He has been making music, releasing records, and touring steady for more than 50 years now and is a punk legend with a cult following; an acclaimed and renowned songwriter; and a musical icon.
If you caught his last (very very sold out) performance here, you already know that this is going to be a magical night and NOT to be missed.
