Thursday, January 29, 2026

Doors: 6pm
Show: 7pm

On January 29th, the Paramount Theatre will shine its spotlight on one of Texas’ most beloved musical legends: Marcia Ball. From her unmistakable Gulf Coast sound to her five decades of storytelling, piano fire, and community advocacy, Marcia has shaped Austin’s musical identity like few others. This tribute-style concert brings together friends, collaborators, and surprise guests for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of her artistry, legacy, and immeasurable impact on the music world.

This annual event benefits HOME – Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers – and its inaugural year is dedicated to our founder, Marcia Ball, whose vision and heart built the safety net that now supports Austin’s aging musicians.

Come be part of the love letter Austin is writing to Marcia Ball.

By popular request… we’re taking HOME with the Armadillo global. Because Marcia Ball’s music has never belonged to just one city.

From Austin stages to international tours, her songs have crossed borders, oceans, and generations. And we’ve heard from so many of you who want to be part of this night but can’t be in the room with us.

So we’re thrilled to share: HOME with the Armadillo: An Evening Honoring Marcia Ball will be broadcast LIVE on HOME’s Facebook account.

Wherever you are in the world, you’re invited to sing along.

The evening is built as “chapters in music” – a journey through Marcia’s life and legacy, with each chapter honoring a different era of her career, the collaborators who shaped her sound, and the music that made her a true original.
