LIVE! ON STAGE: JONATHAN RICHMAN featuring TOMMY LARKINS on the drums!
Coming back a second night to watch a man who does not use a setlist is the only sensible response to having enjoyed the first one, because it will be a different show. Fifty years into a career that began by inventing part of punk and then walking away from volume entirely, he plays songs about small sincere things in several languages, accompanied only by the drummer he has worked with for decades. Phones are discouraged and people actually put them away, which by itself makes the room feel like somewhere else. Highland Park's upstairs Masonic hall is small enough that no amplification is really required. Music at 9:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56, a Saturday. Whether you find it unbearable or the best thing you have seen all year, you will describe it to somebody within a day.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
