Mission Temple Fireworks Revival Featuring: Paul Thorn & Band, the
Blind Boys of Alabama, the McCrary Sisters, Bonnie Bishop and David L.
Harris Southern raconteur Paul Thorn and his crack band, five-time
Grammy award-winning gospel icons the Blind Boys of Alabama, gospel
singing quartet the McCrary Sisters, powerhouse New Orleans trombone
player David L. Harris, and buzzworthy Americana singer Bonnie Bishop
all performing together for a one time only event in a soulful,
wide-ranging and funky musical package. The impetus for this package
is Paul Thorn’s upcoming old-school gospel album. This former boxer
and literal ‘son of a preacher man’ has often touched on spiritual
themes in his songs (as well as penning tunes about strippers, pimps
and others on the fringes of society). But he has never released a
true gospel album - until the one that will come out in the fall of
2017 (just before this tour package begins). All of Paul’s recent
albums have placed on Billboards Top 100 Album charts and have also
had lengthy runs on the Americana Radio charts. This one should be no
different - except it will also feature contributions from four other
outstanding artists! On this special show, Paul Thorn’s versatile,
veteran band will provide backing for an entire night of
entertainment. The five charismatic headliners will each have their
moments in the spotlight and also collaborate together in a show that
will have your audience up and stomping their feet. The one-of-a-kind
experience will be, as Paul Thorn says, “like taking a 6-pack to
church!” 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. Sponsored by Jackson National Life Presented by Franklin
