Indie Troubadour Jonathan Richman Returns to the Kate March 6

Press release

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, presents Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 7:30 pm.

Jonathan Richman has been playing music, recording and touring for most of his life. Originally from Natick, MA, in the early 1970’s he formed the influential proto-punk band the Modern Lovers in Boston. Since then, he’s performed mostly as a solo act with some backing, often with his drummer of twenty-five years Tommy Larkins. In late 2018, he streamed his new release “SA” that was co-produced by Richman, former Modern Lovers member Jerry Harrison, and Nicole Montalbano. He and Larkins win fans wherever they play and even appeared together as a two-man Greek chorus in the Farrelly Brothers’ film “There’s Something About Mary” starring Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. Larkins, who was in the groups Naked Prey, Giant Sand and others popular in Arizona, also plays on “SA.”
