Star of stage & screen (Something About Mary), over 30 years of recordings with 21 albums to his credit.....A Jonathan Richman concert is not be missed.

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. Those qualities are all prominent on Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love, Jonathan Richman's 21st album and his first collection of new material in three years. The album features thirteen openhearted, lovingly crafted songs (fifteen if you count the two unlisted bonus tracks), delivered in spare but often imaginative arrangements built around Jonathan's distinctive voice and guitar and the sensitive drumming of longtime sideman Tommy Larkins. The resulting album captures much of the warmth of Jonathan's exuberant, spontaneous and often hilarious live performances.

Jonathan Richman work is refreshingly unique. In a rock world that often takes itself far too seriously, Jonathan stands alone. Going against the grain but always singing with the same passion and belief that belongs to all the musical greats. Witty, fresh, innocent and enormously fun, a true maverick, nobody can come up with song titles as wacky as Jonathan's or sing songs about seemingly trivial, nonsensical subjects and sound so real.
