There’s a fantastic note at the bottom of Jonathan Richman’s bio on his artist page at High Road Touring. It reads: “(Please note that Jonathan Richman does not participate in the internet on any level.)”
Lucky for us, the former Modern Lover leader still plays the game IRL, and this November will set out on a 15-date North American tour that concludes with a whopping four shows at the Middle East in Cambridge the week of Thanksgiving.
The shows are in the Upstairs room. Tickets are priced at $20 each and are on sale now: Night 1, November 23 / Night 2, November 24 / Night 3, November 25 / Night 4, November 26.
And yes, that third show falls on Thanksgiving night.
The 65-year-old Natick native will be joined on the tour by longtime collaborator and drummer Tommy Larkins. Richman released his latest album, Ishkode! Ishkode!, via Cleveland-based record label Blue Arrow Records, earlier this year.
