Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi among the same influences that nurtured the young Elvis Presley generations before, Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career, pleasing crowds with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern American. After a brief stint as a professional boxer that culminated in his battle against four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television, Thorn gained musical fame performing alongside artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Sting and John Prine among many others. Now with 20 years of writing, touring and entertaining under his belt, Thorn is known for some of the most emotionally restless yet relatable music of our time.
