    The Paul Thorn Band plays the Ellington! Thanks to sponsors: Watts Petroleum and Scott Insurance.

    He's one of those types that's hard to categorize. He does blues, roots, country, gospel, etc. but his writing is what he's most known for.

    Working in a furniture factory by day, he played out his musical passions by night. While performing at a Tupelo pizza joint, Paul Thorn was discovered by the legendary manager Miles Copeland. Thorn recorded his first album, HAMMER & NAIL in 1997 for A&M, then recorded AIN'T LOVE STRANGE for Copeland's boutique Ark 21 label three years later.

    Thorn drew an opening slot for Sting and has subsequently toured with other heavy-hitters including Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, John Hiatt, Richard Thompson, Robert Cray, Marianne Faithfull, and John Prine. He's toured the United States, Canada and the UK performing in such noted venues as The Royal Albert Hall in the UK, The Greek Theater and Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles and Toronto's Massey Hall. Everywhere he performs, he draws an immediate, enthusiastic response and a lineup of fans a mile long wanting to meet him and to get a piece of Thorn's gutsy music for themselves.

    Thorn writes and performs songs taken from life - good times, bad times, and everything in between. His songs are often constructed on the universal themes of love, loss, and yearning. But far from ever sounding commonplace, Thorn is able to weave in a slightly loopy Southern sense of the unexpected that draws you in and never lets go.

    The Paul Thorn Band will be appearing March 19th on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and April 22 on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

    Jesse Ray Carter is the opening act-- it's going to be a great combo!
