The Paul Thorn Band

Concert Details

Paul Thorn has spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Whether he is targeting heads, hearts, hips, or the funny bone, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight mantras. Sonically, Thorn balances blues, rock, gospel, country, and soul in a singular strain of Americana, and his songs embrace the human condition with humor, irony, pathos, tenderness, heartbreak, grief, anger, and joy. With a voice that is equal parts gravel and honey, Thorn delivers his messages with consummate skill and pinpoint precision. One minute, he will unwind an outrageous tale full of wild characters; the next, he will tug at heartstrings with confessions of love, loss, or failed dreams, balancing wit and pathos with an ease only the best storytellers can pull off.
