Audiences will discover new favorite artists at the Hometown Hootenanny - A Songwriters' Showcase, slated for Friday, September 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave. in downtown Everett.

In an evening featuring all original compositions, the country and folk flavor of the Hootenanny will come through loud and clear in music written and performed by Hometown Band favorites Jeremy Randall and Mark Hibbert.

Daniel Kamas, a Seattle-area songwriter with a growing following, makes a return appearance at the Hometown Hootenanny, performing songs from his "Santa Elena" EP along with eagerly-anticipated new material. Kamas, who was featured on the January 2010 Hootenanny, maintains a busy performance schedule in the Seattle area, wowing crowds with his soulful yet rocking acoustic alt-country style.

Rachel Mae was a hit on the July 2 Hootenanny, and this time she performs with her whole band, combining a distinctive Nashville sound with Snohomish County roots. The Rachel Mae Band will perform four numbers in the show, including "Circle on the Floor" from the band's CD release of the same name.
