Known as the bass player for Dinosaur Jr., Barlow has earned fans of his own thoughtful music since he spun off with the early lo-fi indie folk of Sebadoh. He’ll be bringing acoustic guitars to Richmond for an intimate solo performance, taking requests and telling stories, hopefully not too many involving J. Mascis, about whom he once wrote an abrasive but catchy song titled “The Freed Pig.” 7 p.m. Tickets prices range from $26.34 for general admission to $107.62 for admission plus dinner with Lou and his dad. That price does not include dinner. motorichmond.com.
