Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career, pleasing
crowds with his muscular brand of roots music - bluesy, rocking and
thoroughly Southern American, yet also speaking universal truths.
Among those who value originality, inspiration, eccentricity and
character - as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts
of genius, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Raised in
Tupelo, Mississippi, among the same spirits (and some of the actual
people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before, Paul Thorn
has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes, worked for
years in a furniture factory, battled four-time world champion boxer
Roberto Duran on national television, signed with and been dropped by
a major label, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler,
Sting, and John Prine among many others, and made some of the most
emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s
also appeared on major television shows such as Late Night with Conan
O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live, been the subject of numerous National
Public Radio (NPR) features and charted multiple times on the
Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radio Charts. Sponsored by Jackson
