THE WEEK AHEAD
Roots Circus
ROOTS: A FARM TO CIRCUS SHOW
Mon, Wed, Fri // 6 PM
at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater
"A live scarecrow tumbles, sways, and hangs - precarious and loose-limbed - high above a field. Farmhands wildly flip ears of corn as crops “multiply.” A unicycle seems to till soil, red scarves become a barn fire’s flames, animal puppets dance.
"The circus has come to town. This summer, Cirque by the Sea’s latest production, Roots: A Farm to Circus Show, is entertaining all ages in Wellfleet rather than at the troupe’s usual home at North Truro’s Highland Center in the Cape Cod National Seashore."

CALEXICO
Aug 18 // 7 PM
First timers to the Payomet tent, Arizona-bred Calexico has spent the better part of the past three decades exploring the dusty musical borderlands of the American Southwest, crafting singular, cinematic songs as mysterious and magnificent as the arid desert landscapes that inspired them.

Next stop: PAYOMET!

SATURDAY
LUCIUS
Aug 19 // 7 PM
Extravagant indie-pop band, Lucius comes to the Payomet tent in full force with breathtaking harmonies and unmatched musicianship.
"What’s impressive about this duo is how the two use their approach to several different effects: one moment, it was as if they were singing in the round at the Ryman; the next, they attempted extravagant Pointer Sisters-like up-tempo soul; later, it was Velvet Underground-style whispers." – New York Times
