Saturday, August 10 -Rowan Brothers Concert, Vokes Theater, 7:30pm
Born and raised in Wayland, Massachusetts where they learned to play guitars and sing together, Chris and Lorin are a modern day Everly Brothers, playing acoustic-roots Americana that is a mix of the Beattles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with a splash of Bluegrass. Touring behind their current CD Now and Then, tight harmonies and haunting melodies are underscored by crisp guitar and mandolin. With brother, Peter Rowan, they have also recorded several albums/CDs including Sibling Rivalry, Tree on a Hill, and Crazy People. Lorin’s song ‘Soldier of the Cross’ is the title track of country artist Ricky Skaggs’ Grammy winning CD. Tickets are $20 and are be available online through TicketStage. A small handling ($2) fee will be charged for each ticket ordered online.

Saturday, Sept. 21- Five Century House Tour, 10am to 3pm
Where have Waylanders lived in each of the five centuries since its founding in 1638?
We’ll visit one house from each century. The 17th century dwelling was built in ca. 1690. The 18th century example was started pre-1720 and expanded to its present form in 1762. In the 19th century, a fine village house was built by and for a prominent East Sudbury family in ca. 1820 and updated in the 1870s by new store owners who had just moved to Wayland. The 20th and 21st century examples are modern architect-designed houses. The Grout-Heard House Museum also will be open to all attending the house tour day. Tickets $25 in advance, $15 for volunteers, $30 on site.

Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29 Praying Indians of Natick Annual Powwow
Although the powwow originally was a sacred gathering, today it is more a social gathering. The powwow retains its sacredness in respect to the land and cultural ways of the people. Some powwows have competitions for drums and dancing, food vending, and artisans.
The powwow is an opportunity for Native people to share their cultural education with their non-Native brothers. It is also a time of intertribal sharing and honoring of the brotherhood amongst all Native people.
