back. In exchange for a donation of new or gently used
pet supplies at the Paramount Box Office, patrons can receive a
$5 discount for
tickets to Thorogood's March 10th concert
at the historic downtown theatre.

Thorogood and his
band have been performing for more than 30 years. 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.
"Let's put it
this way," Thorogood 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; musicians Moreland & Arbuckle open the show.
The Paramount Theatre
is located at 713 Congress Avenue. For tickets and
