Lindsey Buckingham set to perform live at The Paramount Theater

Contributors

the paramount theaterThe Paramount Theater welcomes rock legend and guitar hero Lindsey Buckingham to The Paramount’s stage on Wednesday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m.

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation. Over the last four decades, Buckingham has developed a radical sense of experimentation and an unrivaled savvy as a producer, skills he first honed as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and the musical visionary of Fleetwood Mac, where he wrote and produced several Top Ten hits, including “Go Your Own Way” and “Big Love.” Under Buckingham’s direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time.

His instinct for melody and his singular fingerpicking guitar style is showcased on the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist, beginning with 1981’s Law and Order and continuing through 2021’s Lindsey Buckingham, his first solo release since 2011’s Seeds We SowEntertainment Weekly called the new album “a California pop-rock meditation that draws on his Golden State roots and probes what Buckingham knows best: the intricacies of relationships” and named it one of the year’s 10 best, while Newsweek hailed it for featuring “all the recognizable elements of his sound: melodic hooks, intricate production, multilayered vocals, and shimmering guitar.” Buckingham debuted the new material on a 2021 North American tour, during which Glide praised his live guitar playing as “captivating and flawless.”

As a solo artist, Buckingham often plays nearly every instrument himself; his complex arrangements and inventive production choices make his solo work thrilling to experience. In 2020, he appeared on The Killers’ single “Caution” and last year joined Halsey to perform her single ‘’Darling’’ on Saturday Night Live. He remains a highly sought-after collaborator, a maverick, and a visionary.
