“This year’s 86th anniversary of the theater marks our 3rd anniversary celebration” Kurt Heitmann, CEO of Red House Entertainment LLC, said. Join the celebration and support live music in the Hudson Valley at the Paramount's only fundraiser of the year by purchasing your tickets today for an evening with Michael McDonald on June, 25th at 8:00 pm.
A special guest kicks off the festivities at 8pm. Marc Von Em of the Rob Thomas Band will showcase his diverse talents while serving as an introduction for the main event. His chops are wide-ranging, from delicate finger picking to rambunctious Pete Townsend type strumming. Marc's guitar serves not only as a guitar, but a drum as well, as he creates percussive beats to perfectly accompany his already outstanding play.

The evening’s headliner hardly needs an introduction. Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of five-time Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald. Add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ‘70s-era’ Doobie Brothers classics such as, “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like, “I Keep Forgettin” to two highly-acclaimed Motown albums, genre-busting guest spots and innovative concept shows, McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving
