‘Tis the season to be enjoying a holiday performance at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Austin.
The Michael Veldman and Friends’ Christmas Show “Our Favorite Time of the Year” wraps up two weekends of performances Friday and Saturday.
Then, the O’Neill Brothers and Katie McMahon take over Friday, Dec. 19.
Balcony seats only remain for the Veldman and Friends shows this weekend.
There are some lower level seats remaining for the O’Neill Brothers and Katie McMahon show Dec. 19, but most are in the balcony.
The popular Austin-based singers take the stage for one 7:30 p.m. performance Friday and two at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Arguably a new family tradition during December at the Paramount Theatre, the Veldman and Friends performances have become “must see” events during the holiday season.
Veldman is joined by Brian Bawek, Erin Schumacher and Kaye Perry for a fresh, new program of holiday music, plus some smile-bringing surprises.
All tickets are $12.
Then, Katie McMahon and the O’Neill Brothers take the stage for one memorable night Dec. 19.
The O’Neill Brothers are an internationally acclaimed piano duo, whose easy listening style wins friends and fans wherever they perform.
McMahon has played the Paramount Theatre before to enthusiastic audiences.
This one-of-a-kind “Celtic Woman” has a show-stopping, soul-stirring voice that has audiences applauding for more whenever she goes.
The combination will offer classic holiday favorites, guest musicians and Irish dancers. Remember: McMahon starred in the original “River Dance” stage production.
Adult tickets are $24.50 and children 12 and younger, $19.50.
The Paramount Theatre box office is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There is plenty of free parking across the street on nearby streets. The city also has a large parking lot one black north of the theater and the city swimming pool.
