Around town

Steven Tyler made a surprise appearance at Heritage Days in Scituate Harbor, taking the stage with the James Montgomery Band, which included special guests Brad Whitford and Jon Butcher. (Tyler also sang with the Family Stone, a band fronted by Sly Stone’s sister, Rose.) . . . Stanley Cup champ Shawn Thornton hosted the Putts and Punches for Parkinson’s golf tourney at Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton yesterday, with proceeds benefiting the Boston Bruins Foundation and the American Parkinson Disease Association. . . . Jorge Posada, who saw limited action against the Sox, at least got a good meal while in town. The Yankee catcher and his family had brunch at Avila.
