Singer/songwriter Colyn Cameron, aka Wake Owl, loves curveballs. His 2013 debut EP, Wild Country, suggested a steady-handed, subtle Americana/folk artist was introducing himself to us, but his new full-length, The Private World of Paradise, U-turns into ’60s- and ’70s-era rock with all the echoing vocals and warm recording qualities you’d expect from that time. With Mimicking Birds, Big Haunt. Barboza, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9442, thebarboza.com. 8 p.m. $10. 21 and over. BP
