Involved in the nascent punk rock scene starting in 1970, Jonathan Richman’s been writing music since the 60s. The Velvet Underground redefined his entire sound (a group he later collaborated with). In a lot of ways, he’s one of the unsung hero’s of the punk movement. Live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, 66 North 6th St., Brooklyn, NY 11211. $15 at Ticketmaster.
