Called a protopunk for classic early songs such as “Roadrunner” and “Cracked,” this onetime modern lover has evolved into an acoustic troubadour. Known to new generations for his musical role in “There’s Something About Mary,” Richman is still experimenting musically and studying world languages. With a new album (“Sa”) featuring his old mate, Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), the always delightful Richman finds inspiration from Indian ragas this time around. Check out a beautiful new song from his latest album, "And Do No Other Thing." We love it. Show at 9 p.m. $20. thecamel.org.
