Computer programmer turned modern day rock star, Jonathan Coulton’s fame began when his Yale graduate’s witty pop songs which reference subjects like science fiction, math and video games, found a fiercely loyal following online. After quitting his day job as a computer programmer, Jonathan created "Thing a Week" where he wrote one new song every week and posted it to his website which quickly turned into over 500,000 downloads from his website.
The New York Times wrote a feature story on him a few weeks ago discussing his unique relationship with his fans as well as his unique business mindset when it comes to the music industry. Also, The New York Post printed a feature several weeks ago on the Best 100 Cover Songs of All Time—and his cover of ‘Baby Got Back’ was voted #2.
Jonathan will be performing in LA at the Paul Gleason Theater at 8:30PM on Sept. 12.
