Coty Hogue grew up in Philipsburg, Mont. and has been called the “Emmylou Harris of a new generation.”

Singing with banjo and guitar accompaniment she mixes traditional, contemporary and original songs, and will take you on an Americana music journey during a free performance at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 30 at Heritage Hall, 203 Market St., Kirkland. The performance is presented by the Kirkland Historical Society. Donations at the door.

Her rendition of the traditional song “Going to the West” charted No. 1 on the Folk-DJ radio charts this past summer. For more information, visit www.cotyhogue.com.
