George Thorogood and the Destroyers

March 10th

Paramount Theatre

George Thorogood and his band the Destroyers have have been performing for more than 30 years. They bring their concert - with opening act Moreland & Arbuckle - to the Paramount Theatre on Wednesday, March 10th, at 8 p.m.

Best known for hits that include "Bad to the Bone," George Thorogood and the Destroyers came out of Delaware in the '70s as a jarringly high-energy bunch whose raucous, slide guitar-stoked, blues-rock takes on tunes by Chuck Berry, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and others helped land them a record contract.

Thorogood loves quips almost as much as he loves the blues: "Let's put it this way, he says. “Dylan has a Rolls-Royce dealership. I have a used Chevy dealership. But I'm in the business. That's all I wanted from this thing. A gig, man. And I got a gig."

Tickets for George Thorogood and the Destroyers at the Paramount Theatre are $30 to $55. Doors and the bar open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. curtain.

The Paramount Theatre is located at 713 Congress Avenue. For tickets and information, call 1-866-9PROTIX (977-6849) or visit www.AustinTheatre.org.
