Omnivore

Jonathan Richman is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist born on May 16, 1951 in Natick, Massachusetts. With a career spanning decades, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. Known for his unique style and captivating performances, Jonathan has garnered a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Throughout his musical journey, Jonathan has released numerous albums that showcase his talent and creativity. His songs are characterized by heartfelt lyrics and melodic tunes that resonate with listeners of all ages. With each release, he continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.

In addition to his solo work, Jonathan has collaborated with various artists over the years, further expanding his artistic horizons. He has also been recognized for his contributions to film soundtracks and theater productions.

New Wave / Post Punk

While his desire was for his band to be more of an acoustic/harmony based endeavor, Jonathan was blindsided when his true debut was overtaken by a compilation of early recordings. Singles like “Roadrunner” and “Pablo Picasso” were in the forefront – but that did not deter Jonathan.

After original drummer David Robinson left, (eventually finding success with Hall of Famers, The Cars), Richman hired D. Sharpe, and the band recorded and released the aptly titled Rock ‘n’ Roll With The Modern Lovers.

Now, one might wonder how “rock ‘n’ roll” an album with songs titled “Ice Cream Man,” “Dodge Veg-O-Matic,” and a version of “Wheels On The Bus” is – but, Greil Marcus called it “the purist Rock and Roll album I’ve heard this year.” And, due to the UK fascination with the band’s perceived debut, “Egyptian Reggae” hit #5 on the singles charts!

The date is 1977. Revel in where the “real” Jonathan Richman story started, and how it evolves. The original releases are available on CD and LP, with a unique red colored vinyl variant available for independent retail. His true, Beserkley catalog is available once again. The way Jonathan intended.
