Paul Thorn Band

Funny happy night. Love Paul Thorn. Fun watch the group interact

Paul Thorn is a true story teller who never fails to connect with his audience. He brings me from tears to laughter every time I see him! This is our 4th time seeing him and he just gets better every time!

The band is as tight as you will hear...great stories, metaphors, laughs....and i even cried 3 times.... thanks Paul, you really really are my Favorite...If I could ever chose a singing voice it would be yours, or another Paul's...(guy name Rogers)....Your band is flawless....awesome tones, riffs, organ, everthang....THANK YOU

Paul Thorn puts on an incredible show, great songs, great personality, great band, a fantastic show.

What a great concert!! Paul and The band were amazing. Of all the shows I ve been to, his connection with the audience was one of the most genuine I ve seen.

Don't miss the Hammer and Nail tour - or the chance to see Paul live. He is truly one of a kind.

truly an American treasure. More people need to tap into his grace

Paul Thorn and his band rocked the Birchmere last Saturday, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of his LP Hammer & Nail.It was a high energy set, featuring outstanding musicians playing songs of redemption, love and hope. Paul's commentary between songs sealed the deal. Go see him live and buy his music.

We had a great time, the acoustics in the music hall were great! We had very good seats also! Will be going back there soon to see another band soon!!!!

Always a GREAT show....thanks to a fantastic band, awesome storyteller, and great sound... Vocals, guitars, keyboard...luv it

Paul Thorn is a charismatic performer of Southern Rock, Blues and Americana. He writes most of his own music and has an engaging on-stage personality. His band is a tight group of excellent musicians. He has you dancing in your seat.

From the opening whine of What the Hell is Going On to the revival tinged closer Take My Love With You a rockin' good time. Excellent musicianship and showmanship abounded.

I'm a huge Paul Thorn fan from way back and have wanted to see him for years. He exceeded my expectations. The Birchmere is my favorite all time musical venue. I can't say enough great things about it. Add Paul Thorn and The Birchmere together and you get one amazing show.

After a great warm up set by eastern Kentucky artist Angleena Presley, Paul Thorn Band hit the stage like a thunderstorm and never let up for 2 hrs. Paul Thorn may have the best band of musicians on the road today, and Thorn is a wry, witty, intelligent people's poet who reveals life in the working-class trailer park South. All his sidemen are great, but guitarist Bill Hinds is the Paul Thorn sound and his tasteful, slide guitar is Thorn's second voice. By evening's end Thorn was in the audience holding forth like an evangelical, traveling tent-show preacher making converts and healing the fever-pitched female crowd around him with hugs and dance steps singing about "healing" ! His music certainly is a healing for a stagnant music industry which is so out of touch with it's audience that they want us to believe that "Kanye West" and "Florida/Georgia Line" are the best they have to offer! Paul Thorn is an evangelist spreading the true story of American roots music!!

Paul always plays for his fans. His songs are right up there with John Prine.

First, having Angelina from Pistol Annie open the show was fantastic! She is an extremely talented songwriter and bring great depth to her songs! She brings out the redneck in all of us!! Paul Thorn lived up to every expectation. He tells great stories and connects with pretty much everyone in the house. We sat next to people from Michigan that were visiting Knoxville and just thought the Bijou looked cool and so they bought tickets to the show, never having heard of Paul Thorn...and they LOVED IT!! Great show...we'll go see him whenever we get a chance!

Another great show, featured Too Blessed CD , band very tight, venue cozy with good views and amenities.

Absolutely wonderful concert. He tell a story for just about every song. Real stuff he sings. Somebody can relate. He is so laid back but engages the crowd like crazy. When he comes back to Knoxville, we'll be there. A lot of his music includes Jesus. Way to go Paul. Great way to serve. God's Peace

We will go see Paul Thorn anytime he is within reach. He said when he came out and saw all the smiles, he would do his best to keep them there. He did not disappoint. The sound and pace were enjoyable. There were 2 songs ,we very much would have loved to hear him sing, that did not make the play list. But we respect the bands playlist for the evening. Perhaps if he returns to Knoxville we will get to hear him sing Too Blessed to Be Stressed. We love the stories about the songs he writes.

Traveled from Cincinnati with my wife to see Paul Thorn Band at the Bijou in Knoxville. The combination of great musicianship, storytelling and memorable songs made the round trip MORE than worthwhile. Add to it the raw, almost nervous energy that Angaleena Presley brought with her opening act and we had ourselves a two for one. I must admit that we did not know who she was before the trip but we do now. We love her CD and we understand why she considers Paul a kindred spirit...their lyrics are bare, at times quirky and in plain sight for all to appreciate. It was a great show at a classic, friendly venue.

What a great show! Paul Thorn was awesome!!! He has so much music I was worried I wudnt know what he wud sing. Wrong! He has a great vatiety of his music. So much good stuff to choose from.

Unless I am sick or out of town I always make sure I see Paul and his band. His music is unique, the band is excellent and Paul is a really funny guy. If you like a mix of rock, blues, gospel and soft ballads, he is your man.

I found Paul Thorn on youtube a couple of months ago. I was amazed that I had never heard him on the radio. He is a great songwriter/singer. I bought 6 tickets to his show and took my family. I went to the show as one fan and I left with 6. If he comes back to Atlanta I would recommend his show to everyone.

Love hearing Paul . Great music, he has a way of relating to his audience. And an acoustic base during 1st session wow ! Loved the slide guitar playing as well a real great musician. I know it's difficult to hear your favorites on his play list because he's trying to sell new songs but I love his older stuff. It didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of Paul's music. If you want to stomp and dance to some good ole southern rock then this would be your choice for a great night.

great show as always. Paul Thorn Band know how to entertain. Paul is an amazing singer/songwriter and tells wonderful stories. He knows how to connect with his audiences.

Once again a phenomenal show! Excellent musicians, amazing lyrics and great storytelling by Paul Thorn. The highest praises from someone who wants the type of high quality music played by 70s rock and blues bands. Unbeatable mixture of attitude and humility ....great show.

Wonderful engagement with the audience. Sing - a - longs, and stories. The lead guitarist was phenomenal!

Paul Thorn and his band never disappoint. He always puts on such a good show and has an incredible cult following. Everyone who goes to his shows absolutely loves his music, his lyrics and his humor. He is pretty easy on the eyes too! Love Dr. Love! The band truly rocks! We took our over 21 children this year and they loved it too! Always fun. Always entertaining. Variety is the best. It feels like a large living room with the PTB performing just for us. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!

Pandora introduced us to Paul Thorn; we're devoted to their sound now. Concert was great. PTB served as their own opening act, so it was an evening of the group we came to hear. I would seek them out!

I have seen the Paul Thorn band many times and must say this concert was my favorite. Paul played many of the songs off the new CD-Too Blessed To Be Stressed. A Paul Thorn concert always leaves you smiling, energized and feeling thoroughly entertained. My husband and I see the band every time they come to our area and love introducing friends to the Paul Thorn band.

Event was awesome. One of the best shows Paul and the band have performed and we have seen many. The new acoustic opening set was great and Jeffrey was like a big kid with his beat box and percussion toys. The main set was a great mix of old classics and new and recent favorites. We introduced new fans to the band and they were hooked. The Birchmere staff was friendly and service was great. An overall excellent time.

Paul Thorn's lyrics and story telling are poignant, telling, entertaining, and hilarious! The Paul Thorn Band is very tight and talented, some of the best slide guitar I've heard since Rod Price. I will attend every PTB show possible.

Paul's show is always memorable. His wit and song writing abilities are second to none. The band is tight and flawless. A great group of guys.Fun, Fun Fun!
