Doors 7:00 PM  Show 8:00 PM

The Platinum selling band, with hits around the world, blasted out of the gate in 2001 to critical and commercial acclaim. With seven #1 hits across multiple territories, the band is ready to bring their biggest hits and newest music to fans new and existing.

The Calling has always been about more than just music; it’s about connecting with our fans on a profound level,” continues Band. “After all these years, we are more excited than ever to share our new sound and take our fans on this new journey with us. The music has evolved, but the essence of what makes The Calling unique remains at the core.”

ABOUT THE CALLING: Formed in 1999, The Calling quickly ascended the ranks of radio rock with their distinctive blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their debut album *Camino Palmero* sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and went Platinum in the U.S. and 50+ countries, catapulting the teen rockers to international fame with hits like “Wherever You Will Go” and “Adrienne,” while touting 7 number one singles worldwide. After a 20-year hiatus, The Calling returns to the forefront of the music scene, poised to captivate listeners once again. With a renewed sense of purpose and creativity, the band is set to unveil their long-awaited new music, promising a sonic journey that will resonate deeply with both loyal fans and newcomers alike. Driven by the powerful, distinct vocals of Alex Band and the masterful instrumentation of guitarist Daniel Damico and Grammy-nominated bassist Dom Liberati, The Calling’s comeback is nothing short of extraordinary. Each note and lyric carry the weight of two decades of growth and experience, resulting in a musical tapestry that is both timeless and contemporary.

Paramount Presents: Ann Wilson: The Voice of Heart & Tripsitter

Monday, September 28th – The Paramount Theatre 7:30PM

Ann Wilson, known the world over as a founder and the lead singer-songwriter of the barrier-breaking band Heart, is here to stay. Widely praised among the greatest singers in the history of rock, Ann’s extraordinarily powerful voice has helped form the bedrock of modern music for over five decades, earning record sales of more than 35 million, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. As one of the first women to front a hard rock band at arena scale, Wilson helped redefine the possibilities for female artists in rock, delivering era-defining hits like “Barracuda,” “Magic Man,” and “Crazy on You.”

In addition to her work with Heart, Wilson has built a dynamic solo career that highlights both her range and restless creative spirit. Her solo albums, including Hope & Glory, Fierce Bliss, and Another Door, blend rock, folk, and orchestral influences while pairing her unmistakable voice with bold reinterpretations and original material.

She further connects with audiences through her podcast After Dinner Thinks, where she reflects on music, culture, and the artists who have shaped her journey.

In 2026, Wilson unveils her most intimate project to date: In My Voice, a forthcoming documentary directed by Barbara Hall that traces her extraordinary life through rare archival footage, personal journals, and candid storytelling, offering an unprecedented look at the artist behind one of rock’s most enduring voices.
