Jonathan Richman (Band)
Biography:
"A singer and songwriter who has stubbornly (and joyfully) followed his muse in a career that began in the early '70s, Jonathan Richman started out as a primitive proto-punk bandleader under the influence of the Velvet Underground who would eventually mature into an acoustic balladeer, and who sang his spare, passionate tunes in Spanish as often as in English. In the middle, Richman was known for his purposefully naive music that reveled in a childlike love of the world around him, emphasized by a voice that was by turns craggy and adenoidal.
As he stepped out as a solo artist in the 1980s, Richman's music retained its simplicity, but he adopted the electric guitar and matured as a writer, producing idiosyncratic but smartly crafted sets of songs.
In the 2000s, Richman's songwriting became more explicitly poetic as he relied more on acoustic instrumentation. Richman continued exploring new musical avenues in the 2010s, experimenting with Latin sounds though his songs remained as sincere and open hearted as the day he first picked up a guitar."
