As mentioned in today's Happenings, Jonathan Richman's show at the Somerville Theatre is sold out tonight, but a little bird told us that a dozen or so standing-room tickets will be made available today. The Somerville Theatre box office opens at 4:00 pm, and the tickets probably won't last long.
Bostonist saw Jonathan and his drummer, Tommy, at the Middle East earlier this year. Except for some gray hair in the beard, you might think that Richman resides in some sort of time-stasis chamber where he writes songs about love and Boston forever. Although Jonathan was under doctor's orders (in March) to preserve his voice, the stage banter—that's half the charm of the performance—should be flowing tonight.
Below is a portion of "Girlfriend" originally from the seminal album, The Modern Lovers, from one of his Middle East shows:
