Emmylou Harris at the Paramount, 02-23-2026

Emmylou Harris, Verlon Thompson and Shawn Camp


The Paramount didn't really do much to push the fact Emmylou Harris was coming to Austin when tickets went on sale - because they didn't have to.  The show sold out pretty quickly as near as I can tell.

Some shows you know are going to just stick with you forever, and I knew from the minute this got underway - yes, this would be one of those sets.  With zero ceremony, Emmylou wandered out onto the stage like a stage manager and informed us "I know you didn't know this, but tonight we're doing a tribute to Guy Clark".  With the crowd that showed up - a bunch of old Austin music nerds - that was like saying "everyone here is getting a $100 bill and a bag of candy".  No complaints were lodged.
