 The Paramount Theater’s latest schedule of performances for Fall 2008 -- a 22-act series running from September 2008 through January 2009 that includes Natalie Cole, Levon Helm, Bruce Hornsby, Travis Tritt & Marty Stuart, and more -- will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, July 29.

The series has been first offered to Paramount Theater members in a pre-sale period that runs through Monday, July 28. Anyone not currently a member of the theater may make a tax-deductible membership contribution when placing an order to take advantage of the early ticket purchasing period.

The series features Grammy Award-winning artists who will grace The Paramount’s stage for the first time -- acclaimed R&B/pop vocalist Natalie Cole performing contemporary standards and popular favorites in support of her Fall 2008 release Still Unforgettable; drummer for The Band, Americana icon, and 2007 Best Folk Recording recipient Levon Helm; genre-bending pianist and singer/songwriter Bruce Hornsby (jointly appearing with Paramount bluegrass favorite Ricky Skaggs); and three-time CMA winner Travis Tritt performing with his longtime friend, country music renaissance man and Country Music Hall of Fame member Marty Stuart in a truly Southern melding of country, R&B, and blues.
