Don Lennon is an independent musician from Massachusetts. Several interviewers have implied that the musician's name is a pseudonym. His style is often compared to that of Beat Happening, The Magnetic Fields and most notably fellow New Englander Jonathan Richman. Lennon was the guitarist and singer of the Boston-based band The Umpteens (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "The Endless Upteens"). Shortly after the group's breakup in 1997 during a performance at a local college, Lennon recorded his first solo album, Maniac.
