By Nikki Talotta on September 10, 2012

1. Seattle's classic rocking sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson and their band Heart will bring listeners on a nostalgic journey with their hits from the 70's as well as sing gems from their later years. Ticket fees run $25-$65 and include fair admission. 7:30 p.m., Puyallup Fairgrounds, 110 9th Avenue Southwest.

2. In this power point presentation Russell Holter will present the dramatic stories of several railroad wrecks. One of the featured accidents will be the infamous March 13, 1959 crash of a runaway, crewless train that resulted in many casualties and destroyed half a city block in downtown Olympia. Noon, $2 donation, State Capital Museum, 211 21st Ave. SW, Olympia,(360) 753-2580.

3. With mesmerizing vocals - both male and female - and sometimes heavy, sometimes sweet guitar riffs, Broken Water has an almost grunge-pop quality. But not quite. They are too busy being their own sound. Together with Grass Widow and Plaid, Broken Water just made Monday night in Olympia a little better. 8 p.m $7. all ages, Northern, 414 1/2 Legion Way.

4. For those with kids still at home, or for the kid at heart, the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium should be quiet and cool on a Monday.

5. Musician, actor and spoken word provocateur Henry Rollins will stop by Olympia's Capitol Theater tonight on the third stop of his marathon "Capitalism Tour." The often outspoken Rollins first came to the public's attention in the early 1980s as the frontman of Washington D.C.'s SOA, and later the California hardcore band Black Flag. 8 p.m. $25, Capitol Theater, 206 5th Avenue SE, Olympia, WA - (360) 754-6670.
