Paul Thorn

Band was solid and Paul was a riot. More fun than you should have on a Sunday night!

We travel from Atlanta to Birmingham to the Lyric Theatre. We heard great things about the restoration of this building and we were not disappointed it is beautiful. Also we stayed at the new Holiday Inn Homewood in Birmingham which was awesome. As usual the Paul Thorn band was absolutely amazing and kicked ass from the very beginning. Paul is a great Showman he knows how to engage the crowd and keep everyone entertained and laughing and dancing. His band is tight and awesome as always. Bill the guitar player has been with him since he started twenty years ago everyone else has been there at least 10 years you can tell they all have a great time together. After the show they are very accessible. All of them are more than willing to come out and talk and make pictures. Jeffrey the drummer remembers us from Atlanta and even remembers our name every time we see him awesome people and great musicians

As usual Paul put on a great show. He always, always plays with the crowd and that makes for a very enjoyable experience.

Paul Thorn definitely brought his AAA game tonight! (No, it wasn't anything to do with an automobile accident in the making!) For me, personally, it was the fifth or sixth time that I've seen Paul perform, but it was the first time that I have seen him perform on land. (I've seen him on two previous versions of Delbert McClinton's "Sandy Beaches Cruises.") He seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the pending release of his new C/D "Pimps and Preachers"! This enthusiasm was obviously contagious as it spread, first to the members of his band and, in turn, to those privileged enough to be members of the audience. The play list was a wonderful mixture of the "old" and the P&P songs. Now the superlatives stop here! The venue, Birdy's in Indianapolis, IN, is a dirty, poorly maintained, "hole-in-the-wall" type of place with grossly inadequate seating that apparently is attempting to coast, while actually sliding, solely on it's local reputation. I personally drove six or seven hours to see this performance and I was very disappointed when I walked inside the door. The audience, not to mention the artists themselves, deserved a far nicer venue to enjoy, and otherwise enhance, a wonderful evening!

The Mighty Orq opened for Paul Thorn and they totally rocked out . Amazing vocals and guitar player. Had a great time . Enjoyed Paul as well..i give them 4stars each

I saw Paul Thorn at House of Blues in Houston on 5/14, and he was his usual amazing self. This was my third time seeing him, and I am still astonished that he hasn't been "discovered" by the masses. Great lyrics, songs that tell stories, great band ... what is there not to love? And it doesn't hurt that he is extremely easy on the eyes! I loved the intimacy of the Bronze Peacock room, and being able to get up close. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed (only a little!) that he didn't tell as many stories between songs as I have heard him do in the past. This is definitely part of his charm. I'm not complaining that I got more music ... just missed the stories! I also enjoyed the opening act, The Mighty Orq.

Paul Thorn and his band are very entertaining. He's a better songwriter than singer, but his live shows are made so much more fun by the anecdotes he adds during the show. He has a great sense of humor. His lead guitariest is really amazing. But the venue really sucked! The Bronze Peacock room at The House of Blues had no seating. I didn't realize that they really meant SRO, or I wouldn't have bought tickets.

This was our second trip to The Ark to see Paul Thorn. It's a great venue where no matter where your seat is you're up close. Paul Thorn is a wonderful story teller, musician, and entertainer.

Excellent show. We need to make this guy mainstream...Move over Toby Keith there's a new Sherrif in town!

Both performers were good - Cook was more country but songs were good. Thorn is a clever songwriter with an excellent band. They could rock with the best. Thorn is entertaining with good chatter between songs. The show had a spiritual feel as paul told us his dad was a preacher.

What a great show! A very cool venue, up close and personal. Pauls amazing songs and his ability to connect with the audience made this a special night. Highly reccomend trying to catch Paul if he is anywhere near you. You wont be sorry.

I had not heard of Paul Thorn prior to this event. I went to see him because I love listening to live music and the 8X10 club. Paul has a very thick Mississippi accent that comes through in his songs. He had a nice way of relating stories about growing up with a preacher father in Miss. (and an uncle that was a pimp). His music definitely rocked, was danceable and soulful all at the same time.He is very sexy in an understated way.

Excellent show put on and sound was right on the money. Look forward to the bands return to the area.

When I saw Paul Thorn at the House of Blues on Sunday night May 17,2009 I was shocked at the small amount of people in the audience. I saw no advertising and it was a Sunday night in this depressed economy. When the show started only 17 people were in the audience. After the second song Paul said if you will stomp your feet when you clap it will sound like a large crowd is here. He proceeded to do all request and after the fourth song, he grabbed his acoustic guitar, went over to a couch, sat down and played a solo set for an hour. This show was like Paul was in your living room playing for you and your friends. This was a once in a life time event . It had to be the best show I have ever seen. I'm sure it was sad for Paul with a small crowd, but he was GREAT! At the end of the solo set about 25 people were there. He got back on stage with his band and played about four more songs. What a GREAT show. Can't wait to see him again.

I have seen Paul Thorn several times over the past 5 years, twice at the Variety Playhouse and I must say that this is a great venue for him to play in. Paul is a tremendous talent and his band is amazing. He writes great songs that are funny at times but always deep and I can't wait to see him again. I would highly recommend anyone to go see Paul Thorn.

FIRST SAW PAUL THORN AT THE FRED IN PEACHTREE CITY GA. BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE, COULD NOT WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN. HAVE ALL HIS CDS AND HIS DVD. WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE CONCERTS IN ATLANTA OR AROUND ATLANTA. MY HUSBAND ALSO THINKS PAUL IS JUST GREAT TELLS EVERYONE WE KNOW ABOUT HIM AND HAVE LET OTHERS LISTEN TO OUR CDS. THE VARIETY PLAYHOUSE WAS GREAT, PAUL THORN VERY ENTERTAINING.

Paul Thorn played the Pontiac Garage, and this is my first time to see him live and also my first time in the Pontiac Garage. The show was on a Sunday night....which is often the 'kiss-of-death' in terms of attendance, unless the musician is very well-known. The place was not exactly packed. But those in attendance were true-blue fans! Seemed like nearly everyone knew all the words to all the songs. Paul did something I thought was really great - he asked the audience if it was ok for him to come down with us and just sit around and play his guitar and sing, since there werent that many people there. Everyone went crazy! He sat on one of the couches and we all surrounded him, and he told stories, took requests, and we gathered around 'Uncle Paul' asking him to tell us stories. He is so 'real' and unaffected, it was like sitting with a good friend in their house, letting them play and sing for us. It was such an intimate setting, everyone really felt lucky to have been part of the experience! And he is so entertaining and talented, with such a fun sense of humor, I will definitely see him again!

What fun we had. We knew we would and looked forward to the show

I had never heard Paul Thorns music before the concert but still enjoyed every song! He's a great songwriter and really funny between songs. He has an engaging, humble spirit. His band was excellent also.

upbeat tunes with some blues and southern rock. funny guy. lots of his songs have a deeper meaning

It was my first time to hear him live; it was well worth going. His band was great, especially the lead guitar. Paul's songs are down to earth, plaintive, soulful, and joyous.

Paul is great...for me better without the band. We were on row 19 and had difficult time understanding the word of the songs. The band overpowered his mic and voice.

My husband claims it was the best concert we've been to - simply every song was amazing - the musicians are out of this world. The songs fun, funny, meaningful, enjoying Paul Thorn and his special brand of entertainment with his stories laced with sarcasm and humor. Crowd pleasing, we came away happier than we went in . . .

Without a doubt the best live show I have ever attended. Paul and his band were simply awesome. The venue is top notch, staff was on point. Great experience. Highly recommend. I will return.

Paul Thorn concert in Montgomery was awesome, had a great time. Anytime Paul comes close by we try to make his show. His music is fantastic and his stories are so entertaining. If you have a chance to see him, I highly recommend it!

Paul is a consistently enjoyable person to see. The band was better than I have seen in the past (seen him 4-5 times). Good songs and funny banter. Hope he makes Montgomery an annual stop.

My Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Paul Thorn in concert at MPAC. He played for 2-1/2 hours...how often does that happen these days? He interacted with the audience and just made sure we got our money's worth! Great singer, song writer, story teller. I will go see him again !!!

Paul Thorn is one of our favorites! Always puts on a great show! A lot of participation and communication with the audience! His humor is so entertaining, always keeps you wanting to come back for his shows!

Good live show with music from his new CD as well as music from one of my older favorites, "Ain't Love Strange" I also love how he mingles with the audience. He appreciates his fans.

The sound was incredible Pauls lyrics are entertaining and music is full of soul. Loved the show and will continue to follow Paul Thorn through the Midwest.

Incredible lyrics, fabulous harmony, and delicious guitar playing! Paul Thorn and his band put on an amazing show!

Great show with Paul and four-man backing band. Played material that spanned his career. Very humorous and personable between songs. Played one encore, then walked out into the audience to pose for pictures and sign autographs. He is a clever, witty songwriter, and a gifted musician. He blends blues, rock, and gospel into a uniquely southern sound.

This is our second Paul Thorn concert...and they have both been great! We don't normally attend a lot of concerts, but we will make an exception for Paul Thorn. Paul not only puts on a great show, but his band is so talented, his songwriting is deep and meaningful, and his voice is so unique. We really enjoy every minute of his shows.

I was so glad when I found out Paul had the whole night instead of being the opening show. It was like getting two shows in one and the excitement grew as the night went!!! His shows are always great and the Bijou made the perfect atmosphere for the "family like" feeling you get when you are there. Thank you for bringing him to us and I look forward to many more evenings enjoying having him here in Knoxville with us!!!!

He put on a great concert and he was very interactive with the audience. I can't wait for him to come back to town!

Paul and his band are so genuine. His songs tell stories we can all relate to.

I had never heard of Paul Thorn, but a trusted friend highly recommended, so we went! What a good choice! Thorn was amazing. Great, fun entertainer; super lyrics; long show - two hours! Plus, he came down into the audience during the oncore, which was fun to watch him connect. I will certainly go see him again.

My 5th Paul Thorn concert and I can't wait to go to another one! He's warm, funny an incredible musician with a backup band that can't be beat.

Very funny guy and great music from start to finish!!! Very uplifting!!!

They were fantastic! The Bijou Theatre is a great venue!

NICE HALL - NOT TOO BIG GOOD SOUND. GREAT TALENT!!!

Love the band, and love Paul's storytelling. The place was rocking, and just having fun. I brought 2 friends with me who had never seen Thorn, and they are sold, and bought cd's.

The Variety is one of my favorite venues. it is really nice that they added the full bar. I gladly drive 2 1/2 hours for any of my favorites there. The Paul Thorn band fits the intimate setting and delivered one hell of a show - AGAIN. There were obviously quite a few fellow "followers" enjoying it as much as we did. I took a friend who had never seen him, and is actually not a concert goer. She had a great time. They always play a lot of favorites and add a few less known. He interacts with the crowd more than any artist I know and makes the audience feel that he is appreciative of their presence.

Excellent show. Paul Thorn is a great musician, a wonderful performer and a true professional. Thorn has a fantastic way of sharing his perspective on true life experiences. His shows are not to be missed!

I must confess that I have been a Paul Thorn fan for almost 15 years now. Having said that, Paul provides a great live show and this was no exception. If you like the sound of his music, you will love his show. His guitar player would put most others to shame and Paul gives it 100%.

Great songs, tight band, genuine son of the South and USA . Real stories, real emotion, real rhythms. Best connection between artist and audience you will ever see. Could experience the show every night and get energized every time!!

PT is perhaps my favorite performing artist, as he is simply real. he's unabashedly honest, relates to his audience, and has a laugh that is contagious. this is my second time to see him perform; the first was an acoustic one by himself at red clay theater, and this, at variety playhouse, was with the band. both were a 10. nay, a 12!

Paul Thorn has been one of my favorite recording artists ever since he entered the business. My first experience of Paul Thorn was from the John Boy & Billy Big Show on WIMZ 103.5 out of Knoxville. I own every one of his CD's. My son brought me to the concert for a Father & Son night out. It was a wonderful evening that I will never forget.

This was my first time seeing Paul Thorn but I was surrounded by his fans who knew all his stuff. He entertained us with his stories and he was genuinely pleased with the crowd. I will definitely see his show again, and next time I WILL know the lyrics!

From the moment we walked in to the Triple Door, we knew this venue was something special. Cool decor, awesome staff, the best Thai food I've ever had, and acoustics to die for. And Paul Thorn sounded the best I've ever heard them.

Paul, Paul, Paul. What words can describe a PTB concert? As usual, Paul was amazing. His antidotes, breakout smile to the fans hugging the stage's edge, and beautifully clad denim jeans and tight t-shirt body are almost more than a simple girl can endure. The new songs were instant "hits" with the faithful and the old classics had everyone rocking. The whole band seemed to be "on" - even with Bill's pain and a newly added bass player. I rue the day that Paul gets too big for the smaller venues and plays to the massive throngs that can't truly appreciate the up-close-and-personal-PTB-experience (although I wish them all the success that's terribly overdue them). This was my 7th PTB concert and with me were my three fellow PTB-converts at their 3th and 4th concerts. We continually agree, he just gets better and better. Some performers you can go see "live" once and that's sufficient for a lifetime, but Paul Thorn lures you into some sort of trance that begs you to quit your life and follow him around to any venue in any part of the country where he shows up. He has four faithful fans that will continue to make the trek to any venue within at least the five-state area of AL, FL, GA, SC, or TN. The only one thing we'd change ... Paul, add some sexy flip flops or cowboy boots and dis the Dr. Locke shoes! Nevertheless, we love you Paul and "please turn around!"

PAUL RELATES STORIES & FEELINGS WE HAVE ALL LIVED OR HEARD TELL OF. DELIVERED WRAPPED IN TIGHT , ROCKIN, BLUESY MUSIC THAT IS MOST DANCE-ABLE. HE & HIS BAND ARE BLUE COLLAR DOWN TO EARTH STARS & WE WERE DAM LUCKY TO HAVE SEEM THEM IN A CLOSE SETTING. EVERYONE LEFT THE SHOW ENTERTAINED , AMUSED, SATISFIED AND LIGHTER ON THERE FEET.

Paul Thorn performed yet another outstanding show. He and the PT Band are amazing each and every time we see them. Part of the charm of their concerts is the appreciation they seem to 'genuinely' have for their fans. Although their talent is incredible and brings their devoted fans back time and time again, Paul continues to interact with the crowd and "woo" the women with his smile and taut physique. He also listens and responds to his fans. But the music ... ah the music, that's what it is all about. His songs, both humorous & serious, touch a part of each fan and lures them into that special place. Our first PTB encounter was when they were the opening band years ago for Jr. Brown; we'd never heard of the PTB. The guy sitting next to us was astonished and said, "I follow him everywhere. I never miss a show." Then we thought he was crazy, now we understand.

I have been wanting to see Paul Thorn for quite some time. The performance was one of the best that I have ever seen. How that band of five guys put out such high-quality music is beyond me. Paul s lead guitarist is extraordinarily talented and versatile. The set selection was excellent, and the performance was perfect. This would be a concert I would recommend to anyone, and I can t wait for the next time that Paul comes back. Plus, I have never, ever, ever, seen a performer come down into the audience and interact with the audience members like Paul did. It was surreal, in a very good way.

Heartfelt and enthusiastic show by unique singer/songwriter. Small but supportive crowd really got into the performance. Great venue as always.

Unforgettable show. We had so much fun and can't wait until they return. Paul ended the show going into the audience and hugging and shaking hands. LOVE!

Paul Thorn was AMAZING! He sounded better live than on the album!!

Paul Thorn puts on one of the best live shows ever and the Lyric is a great place to see any show.

My wife and I live just outside of Chattanooga Tn. in North Ga. and we drove to Birmingham to see Paul Thorn. It was another great show. His music and songs are great. We love the way he interacts with the audience. His energy helps get the audience into the show. The Lyric is a great venue to see a concert at. There are a number of motels close to the Lyric as well as a number of good places to eat. We had a great time. Anytime Paul Thorn is performing within a couple of hundred miles of where we live we try to go. It's that much fun

This venue was very nice for the audience. Paul Thorn was great. This is only my 2nd time seeing him and I liked him as much as the 1st time. I have been to well over 1000 concerts during the last 43 years and this venue was fabulous. Paul Thorn is my new favorite!!! Just loved the concert.

Another fun and entertaining show by Paul and his talented band. Never miss him when he's in town.

No more to say, Paul Thorn Band gets better every time I see them. Mixed a cool cover of Jackson Browne's Dr. My Eyes in with all their own great songs. Always leave happy!

We have seen Paul probably ten times and his show is always different. He was awesome in Tunica. I love his sweet smile. He wasn't as talkative as he is sometimes. His daughter came on stage and did "Every Little Bit Hurts" with him. She has a great voice!! He did something from just about every album. As far as I can remember, these are the songs he did: Burn Down the Trailer Park, Black Rainbow, Lovers Vacation, She Won't Cheat on Us, 800 lb Jesus, Lucky 7 Ranch, Crutches, Ain't Living in Sin, Pimps and Preachers, I Don't Like Half the Folks I love, Everythings Gonna be Allright, Backslide on Friday, Old Stray Dogs and Jesus, Snake Farm, Bull Mountain Bridge and closed with Mission Temple Fireworks Stand. We saw Hammer and Nail back in March and his show with the McCrary Sisters last month. It was all great.

He s so talented and funny! The music is different and invites you to always join in!

Great performance. He connects with the audience better than any performer than I have ever seen. You probably have to be southern to relate to some of his songs, like Burn Down the Trailer Park.

The Lyric is the perfect venue to host an artist like Paul Thorn. He is up front and personal with his audience. He ALWAYS delivers a fabulous show, no matter what the playlist. This one was particularly fine. He has the best band ever.

Mr. Thorn's show began with a delightful video, featuring clips from his boxing match with Roberto Duran and an interview with a young Paul Thorn, filmed before he quit his twelve-year stint at the chair factory but after the Duran match. This was a wonderful way to start the show! The Paul Thorn band then played every song on the "Hammer and Nail" recording, including "800 Pound Jesus," "Josie the Jehovah's Witness Stripper," and the title song. The show then continued with many favorites, including "Burn Down the Trailer Park," "Lucky Seven Ranch," and "Mission Temple Firework Stand" for an encore. A highlight of the latter part of the concert was an unplugged performance of "Temporaily Forever Mine:" Mr. Thorn, sideman Hinds, and bassist Friedrichsen sang tight harmony accompanied by Dr. Love on mandolin and Mr. Perkins using nothing but an egg shaker for percussion. Two complaints: First, the sound mix was dreadful: I was in seventh row center and could not understand 85% of the lyrics; they were garbled. Had I not been familiar with Mr. Thorn's music, this performance would have been a waste. Second, my wife and I did not enjoy the warm-up act (Bonnie Bishop); her lyrics were garbled, and her performance detracted from the evening.

Paul Thorn could be a comedian! His comments between songs were hilarious! Of course, his music is very unique and entertaining. The crowd really got involved. He actually sang songs from albums that I wasn't as familiar with, but the sound was good enough that I could understand the words and enjoy the performance.

I had heard Paul in a smaller venue where I could understand every word. I had seen other shows at the Lyric where I could understand every word. I don't know why the combination of Paul and the Lyric didn't work, but for me it didn't. The sound was Loud and distorted.

His wonderful stories are topped only by his amazing music. Have been to see him many times and I'm never disappointed.

WHAT A GREAT NIGHT !!!!! BONNIE BISHOP opened the show with her great and distinctive voice. She is a dynamic song writer and performs from deep within her soul. She got the night started. The PAUL THORN BAND hit the stage running and never stopped. The crowd clapped, sang, and experienced the best artist around today. The band is so GREAT and takes it to a highest level possible. The PAUL THORN SHOW is a MUST for anyone that loves a rock and roll, blues, gospel experience.

this band is one of those that if you see them once you will go everytime they are close by

The guy was open, on top of his game, with well crafted material. A lot of smiling audience members, including my gal.....The ONLY complaint, which probably had nothing to do with Paul, was the lighting that some companies insist on using on the poles aimed at the audience, which is blinding, distracting, and irritating.

High energy, positive message, first class band mates.

Paul and the band performed flawlessly. The venue was perfect for one of his concerts.

Love the sound, all the funny stories, people dancing & singing! It was great!

The concert was awesome! Paul Thorn Band always gives a fantastic show. The sound, music and in between song stories were top notch. Great to see hometown Knoxville band The Kevin Abernathy Band opening the show.

Paul is like a great artist who colorfully paints life with lyrics, harmony and some of the best guitar licks I have ever heard. His canvas is filled with the vibrant hues of Americana as painted from the soul of one who has lived and loved, won and lost. He is so comfortable with his audience that it is very evident he and the band love what they do. The only way this concert could have been improved would have been to include his daughter Kit. So, how much did I enjoy the concert? I immediately got two tickets for the show in Chattanooga in three weeks. It could be so easy to be a Paul Thorn groupie!

As always, Paul Thorn gave a great performance. The opening act was very good as well.

You will not find a more talented songwriter, a more sincere performer, or a better band. I bought all 7 CDs the first time we saw him. Check him out! Listen to the song "Crutches' for a taste of his serious side, or "Joanie the Jehovah's witness Stripper" for his fun side. And he's a hunk to boot!

Excellent show at the Attucks Theater. Very nice venue.

great concert! great interaction between the band and the audience. you can tell they love what they do. opening artist, scott miller will now be on my radar!

Great venue!! . Paul Thorn was incredible! I plan to go to see him again! Not only is his songs great his humor is unmatched! The lead in to this concert was very good too, Brandon Lay. I believe he will be a main headline soon! How can you beat being on the stage with the performers sitting on a couch? One of the best concerts I have ever attended!

Paul Thorn and his excellent band (Bill, Jeffery, Ralph and Dr. Love) were awesome. The venue Birdys was easy to find and would go back there to see Paul again. This place had good people working there and it also has good acoustics.

As always, Paul Thorn was awesome, very funny and entertaining...Good songs, including ones off the new album, and band was excellent...Sound fair, could have been better--otherwise Birdy's a fun place to catch a show!

Great blues/rock singer songwriter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul played close to 2 hours to an audience that was energized and it felt like half of the audience knew him personally and Paul knew them. Every song sounded great and most of the time, the audience would sing along with the course. Some people would cheer, some danced and some just watched quietly; soaking in the atmosphere. If I would say anything negative about Paul s show; it would be he did not play 3 of my favorite songs. But with number of songs Paul has written and performed, then it would be impossible to do them all. When Paul comes back to my area (by the way it was a 95 mile drive for me), then I will defently go see him.

I am a HUGE PT Band fan and have seen him many times. I packed up 20 people and we drove 4 hours to get to Birdys. The venue was not air conditioned and it was very hot. I don't know if this is what contributed to the performance, but Mr. Thorn was not into it at all. He knew he was performing in a bar but complained about the crowd being "drunk - which is not a compliment just so you know" He then preceded to rudly insult people in the front row who were just trying to applaud and show their love for him. Well my crowd certainly was not drunk and we were sadly disappointed in his attitude. I understand everybody can have an off night and touring is tiring but my group wouldn't have wasted our time or money on this had we known it was going to be such an inconvenience to the performer.

I got tickets to see Paul in Indy for my husband for Father's Day but after seeing the show, I'm now a big fan. Not only was his voice raw and velvet but he was really funny, charming and a great front man. We had a fabulous time and are planning to go see him again.

Fanastic show! This was my first Paul Thorn concert but it will not be my last. I have been a fan since first hearing Burn Down the Trailer Park and there was nothing about the show that disappointed. The band was tight, the sound terrific and Paul's brand of songwriting / story telling surpasses all others on today's music scene.

Best Dang Paul Thorn concert ever! The whole band was having fun. Great mix of new and old music.

Paul Thorne is a unique entertainer. A true singer singer writer he can carry the show with or without his band. His songs are unique. Some are just plainly hilarious while others show a deft sensibillity to the struggles we all confront. What sets Paul apart is his unique banter with the audience. He engages you in his songs with his unique perspective and humour. By the end of his show you will be standing and dancing and singing his songs and will have laughed your head off!!

This is my first show at the Birchmere, and I am very impressed, both with the musical presentation, and the food offered at the table. I've seen Paul Thorn several times before, and was once again thrilled with he and his band's performance. The old favorites still rock, and the material from the new album was absolutely wonderful. To top it off, this is a seated, supper club, type environment. Arriving early to get numbers by which you are admitted to the theater, allows you to select your seats. We were at a table closest to stage right. Wonderful view of the band. Though we were right next to the stage, the volume wasn't painful, as it can be in some venues. The food choices were excellent, our friends having the pizza, my wife and I selecting chicken tenders. Food arrived quickly, was hot, and very tasty. The seating arrangement was great for an old guy like me, who has trouble standing for an entire evening of music. The Birchmere has jumped to the top of my list of favorite venues to hear bands.

Paul Thorn relates so well with his audience! I liked his telling the "story" behind each song.The talent of those who played with him was evident and appreciated. I loved it when he introduced his daughter, and she played and sang...his pride was showing, with justification!

I have followed Paul for 4 years now...I grew up with ZZ TOPP, Zepplin, Bad Co, Stones, etc....This guy is my FAVE. He is as good as wilson pickett, al green, sam cooke, PERIOD. I will never miss an opportunity to see him and HIS BAND (AWESOME) ever.

Until about 3 months ago I had never experienced Paul Thorn. The concern and venue were awesome. I can't wait to see him again. He is so down to earth and really loves his fans. His music is what I love!

Awesome show! Paul Thorn is very talented and a genuinely nice, funny guy. He interacted very well with the audience. He signed autographs after the show, which is always appreciated. I will defiantly be going to see him again!! And highly recommend for people to do the same!

We've heard Paul at several festivals, but this was so much better. The mix of old and new material was great. Please bring him back to Jackson on a Friday or Saturday!

Had a WONDERFUL time - Lisa Mills was so good, would definitely like to see her again. Paul Thorn was great - just wish he would have played more of his "classic" songs but he was promoting his new CD so that's mostly what was played. A fun time was had by all and I'm looking forward to hearing him again in the future.

Went to see Paul and his band for the fourth time, they seem to get better every time we see them. They played songs from the new cd, which is great, along with some of his older songs, which are just as great. He was a good boxer, and I'm sure he built some good chairs, but music was his calling !!! Can't wait to go again.
