Ólöf Arnalds and Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman is such a fan of Icelandic artist Ólöf Arnalds that he's invited her to perform a few live dates with him. Richmond was quoted as saying "Since we met ('we' being me and Tommy, my drummer) Olof 3 or 4 years ago in Iceland, she's been one of our favorite musicians. So we're really happy to get this chance to play 3 nights with her here in the U.S.A. When we went back to Iceland, she opened two shows for us one night after the other - And, she was really different each show! So come see her maybe more than just once - that's why I wanted her to play these three nights."

Olaf will be performing songs from her upcoming release Innundir skinni which will be available September 24 via One Little Indian. This record marks the first time Arnalds has released songs in English, and three are included on the album.
