Good guys and bad. Cops and robbers. “Heroes and Outlaws.”

That’s the theme for the 20th Hometown Hootenanny scheduled for Saturday night at the Historic Everett Theatre.

The Hometown Band will sing tales of outlaws including “The Highwaymen,” “Modern-Day Bonnie and Clyde” and “Folsom Prison Blues.” They’ll also celebrate heroes with “Family Man,” “An American Soldier” and “He Walks on Water.”

Scheduled guest artists include Kate Olson, the winner of the Hootenanny’s Singers’ Showdown in the adult vocalist category and the Boys of Greenwood Glen. Mike McFadden is the evening’s emcee.

The performance also is a goodbye to Jeremy Randall who is moving away. He has been the Hometown Band’s lead singer.

“I do plan to come back for guest appearances when possible,” Randall said in a press release. “The Hootenanny audiences have been so great, and it’s been an honor to share the stage with my fellow band members and our great guest artists. It’s hard to leave all that.”

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby in downtown Everett.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, students and military, and $5 for kids 12 and under. Buy tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800-838-3006. Tickets also are available at the box office, 2911 Colby Ave. or 425-258-6766.

English singer and songwriter Nick Lowe, 62, has made a resurgence these past few years.

His most recent album, “The Old Magic,” is a tribute to his musical influences Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker.

But the music is all Lowe: sophisticated and spare, heartfelt and forward.

As Paste Magazine said of Lowe, he’s probably the most important musician who’s hardly known.

His hits include “Cruel to be Kind” and he wrote “(What’s so funny ’bout) Peace, Love and Understanding,” a song that Elvis Costello made famous.

He plays at 8 tonight at The Triple Door, 216 Union St., Seattle.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, $40 for VIP seating. Buy tickets at www.tripledoor.com or 206-838-4333.

In 2010 Joe Sample, Wayne Henderson and Wilton Felder reunited as the Jazz Crusaders, the ground-breaking group from Houston that first formed in the late ’50s.

It was the first time in 36 years the pianist, trombone player and sax-man reunited on stage.

They’re now touring with Nicklas Sample on stand-up bass and Doug Belote behind the drum set.

On Thursday, they check into Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley for seven sets in four days.

They’ll play at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. through Oct. 22, and one set at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23. Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley is at 2033 Sixth Ave., Seattle.

Tickets are $35 at www.jazzalley.com or 206-441-9729.
