It’s time for a little country music to grace the stage at the Paramount Theatre.

The Northwestern Singers will present “Hooked on Country,” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Paramount.

The show is the first all-country show in several years, and there will be plenty of costumes and choreography to some of country music’s greatest hits. Songs will include old to new songs such as “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “I Run To You,” “Thank God I’m a Country Boy,” and many more. Some of the artists are Johnny Cash, John Denver, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland and many more. Minnie Pearl will be there, too. An elementary children’s choir will perform as well.
