Biography

Edit

Jonathan Richman (born May 16, 1951) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. In 1970 he founded The Modern Lovers, an influential proto-punk band. Since the mid-1970s, Richman has worked either solo or with low-key, generally acoustic backing. He is known for his wide-eyed unaffected and child-like outlook, and music that, while rooted in rock and roll, often draws on influences from around the world.
