Description: Thee Draper Village presents the May and Mother's Day Listening Room Concert featuring Sula's Front Porch on Sunday, May 10, 2026 in The Village Chapel.

Bring mom to a free private concert this Mother’s Day with a seated, intimate concert in a beautiful historic chapel perfect to pair with brunch or dinner for a full day in the village!

This talented group got their start playing together on Sula’s front porch and quickly became something special, featuring award-winning fiddler Aran Garnett-Deakin and multi-instrumentalist Tim Thornton, along with musicians like banjo player Russ Boyd. Expect a fun mix of bluegrass, fiddle tunes, and more. It’s the perfect way to spend Mother’s Day!

Sula’s Front Porch is a bluegrass and Americana duo from Southwest Virginia that was originally formed as an emergency band due to a last minute cancellation.

Sula’s Front Porch features award-winning fiddler Aran Garnett-Deakin and Tim Thornton. When she’s not sawing on fiddle tunes or singing Sierra Ferrell covers, Aran can be heard playing with the Virginia Tech Philharmonic Orchestra. She plays clawhammer banjo and guitar, too. Tim adds guitar, dulcimer, banjo mandolin and a little singing too.
