PAUL THORN: Hot Ticket
Brilliant and poetic music delivered with all the fervor of a tent revival preacher on a hot July night. Paul Thorn’s music packs a punch with passion and humor. The Southern soul of his Mississippi drawl is absolutely irresistible, and then he delivers the knockout, with a lyric that sets you on your heals with laughter. Paul is a genuine storyteller, and audiences become entranced with his woeful songs of hardscrabble life, loves won and lost, and the often-rueful revenge that follows. The colorful characters he creates imprint in your mind as he rumbles through tales of Southern towns and trailer parks looking for redemption and occasionally finding some grace. If William Falkner had become a rock ‘n roller he would have been a lot like Paul Thorn. This son of a preacher and former professional boxer has appeared with Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt and Sting in the past few years, building a following of loyal fans that travel hundreds of miles to catch a show. Get your tickets before the travelling heard of his followers get them all.
