BACKSTAGE AT THE LINCOLN Concert Series Announces Schedule for Remainder of 2016

Backstage at the Lincoln, the Lincoln Theatre's intimate, local concert series, has announced three additional concerts to round out 2016. This series offers concertgoers the extraordinary opportunity to be seated on stage with a featured local artist, providing an up-close-and-personal performance set against the hand-painted grandeur of the Lincoln's rare Egyptian Revival-style motif.

The schedule is as follows:

October 5 - Janeen Holmes

October 19 - The Paragon Project

November 30 - Watu Utungo

Tickets are $10 and seating is limited. All concerts begin at 7pm at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.). Tickets can be purchased at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on the night of the show if still available.

The Backstage at the Lincoln series is made possible through the generous support of the Greater Columbus Arts Council and the Ohio Arts Council.
