MUSIC
COLVIN IN CAMDEN
The sun might not come out in Maine this November, but things will definitely brighten when South Dakota native Shawn Colvin sings “Sunny Came Home.” Colvin’s ambient folk music reflects her wanderlust and Joni Mitchell-like musings on love, life, and loss. Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. $38. Camden Opera House, 29 Elm St. 207-236-2281. www.camdenoperahouse.com

ART
PRETTY IN PRINT
What do zinc, stone, wood, copper, and linoleum have in common? They can all be used in the ancient art of printmaking, which is on display in its contemporary version at First Impressions: New Works by Peregrine Press Artists, an exhibit at the Dyer Library/Saco Museum. You’ll learn about the history of printmaking and see some of the latest artwork by some of Maine’s premier printmakers. Through Nov. 16. $2-$4, with free admission on Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. 371 Main St. 207-283-3861. www.dyerlibrarysacomuseum.org
