Incoming: Jonathan Richman to the Record Bar (no Vic)

Brooklyn Vegan is reporting that ex-Modern Lover Jonathan Richman and sidekick Tommy Larkins will be coming to the Record Bar on June 29. Fellow sardonic singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt will be joining Richman for part of the tour, but, unfortunately not the part that comes to KC.
