Uncle Lonny presents: Paul Thorn
The State Theatre
Wednesday, Aug 17, 2022 7:30 PM
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.

Paul Thorn has built a remarkable career with his soulful blend of blues, rock, and Southern roots music—songs that mix grit, heart, and humor in equal measure. A Tupelo, Mississippi native and former boxer who once faced Roberto Duran, Thorn’s path has taken him from factory floors to stages shared with John Prine, Bonnie Raitt, and Sting. Known for his plainspoken wisdom and heartfelt storytelling, his music delivers truth with a wink and a groove. On his latest album, Life Is Just a Vapor, Thorn continues to uplift and inspire, reminding listeners to “live it while we can.”. All proceeds benefit Hope Have West - providing mobility for disabled poor. Doors at 6:30; show at 7:30 p.m.
