George Benson Annual Gala Fundraising Concert

Sat, June 27 8pm

The Paramount's Biggest Fundraising Event of the Year!  From jazz guitar legend to R&B/pop vocalist extraordinaire, 8-time Grammy winner George Benson is an amazingly versatile musician who can play in just about any style, all with supreme taste, a beautiful tone, and an unquenchable urge to swing. In addition to his virtuosic guitar playing, Benson also sings in a lush soulful tenor with mannerisms similar to those of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway. With such mega hits over his four-decade career as "This Masquerade," "On Broadway," "The Greatest Love of All," and "Give Me the Night," Benson has earned the well-deserved reputation as one of music's most enterprising and engaging stars.

Los Lobos (Now On Sale) East L.A. Rock Pioneers

Wed, Sept 16 8pm

Over the past 35 years, The East L.A. five-piece Los Lobos has assembled a body of work diverse enough to cripple most bands and to captivate fans world wide. Along the way, they've redefined how a rock band-and rock music-can sound. Many musical groups are eclectic, but few are both as unpredictable and successful as Los Lobos. The band has notched a number one single, won three Grammys, and sold millions of records.

Buddy Guy Blues Guitar Legend

Wed, April 15 8pm

THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT! Any discussion of Buddy Guy invariably involves a recitation of his colossal musical resume and hard- earned accolades. He's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side, and a living link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues. Internationally acclaimed, a five-time Grammy Award winner and now an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Guy has firmly cemented a blues legacy that places him squarely in the company of his heroes who came before.

Alloy Orchestra's "Underworld"

Fri, May 1 8pm

Come experience the classic silent film UNDERWORLD with live music by the acclaimedAlloy Orchestra, a Paramount favorite and called the "best in the world at accompanying silent films" by Roger Ebert. A favorite of audiences and critics alike, Underworld is credited as the first gangster film, and the model for the popular genre. UNDERWORLD was von Sternberg's first professional film, and the film that launched his very successful career. Ben Hecht, who wrote the screenplay for the film, won the first ever Academy Award for best writing (before they started calling it "screenplay").

Sat, May 2 8pm

The highly acclaimed Grammy Award-winning songwriter is best known for his timeless hit "Walking in Memphis." He comes to the Paramount in support of his newest release Join the Parade, a recording that is being called his most accomplished and compelling album to date. Throughout his career, Cohn has translated complex and private emotions into lyrical song-poetry and then set those words to music of remarkable depth, toughness, and complexity. In doing so, Marc has created a body of work that is certain to touch a universal chord of memory and feeling.

A Benefit for Kazi Oliver

Sun, May 3 4pm

Please join us at this SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENT for our dear friend, artist, drummer, and teacher Kazi Oliver. Kazi has touched so many lives with his spirit, his drumming, and his teaching. Now it is our turn to repay the favor and give something back to Kazi in the form of love, drums, and music. Your support at this event will help raise important funds for Kazi's medical and health expenses. Please spread the word and join us for this celebration of life and music.

Tues, May 5 8pm

The B-52s have come a long way since their revolutionary 1979 self-titled debut, featuring the evergreen "Rock Lobster." Following the loss of founding member Ricky Wilson in 1985, the group rebounded with their triumphant 1989 smash Cosmic Thing, which spawned the Top 10 hits "Love Shack" and "Roam." Although their last recordings to be made commercially available were the songs "Debbie" and "Hallucinating Pluto" for the 1998 anthology Time Capsule: Songs for a Future Generation, the band has remained a popular and active live touring act. The group will also be performing songs from their new album Funplex, the first record of the 21st century from the B-52s. This is a RENTAL event. Paramount membership and gift certificate policies do not apply.

Before Chappelle, before South Park, Dice was shocking audiences - breaking the rules with a never-before-seen style of hardcore comedy. His rise to fame was meteoric - with sold-out arenas, platinum albums, and starring roles in films and TV specials. His fall was just as epic- blackballed by the industry and becoming the man to hate by every PC group in the country. He calls himself the Rocky of Comedy, and now this heavyweight king of comedy is coming out of retirement for a tour of standup comedy as well as to appear on NBC's new show: Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" MATURE CONTENT Public sale opens Fri 2/27 12pm
