Paul Thorn Band Tickets

PAUL THORN BAND IN CONCERT:

Blues rocker Paul Thorn proved his mettle opening for big names like Huey Lewis & the News and Jeff Beck, and he's firmly established his star power now that he's headlining the show. Thorn has assembled a talented and vibrant group of musicians for the Paul Thorn Band, and together they tear through irreverent favorites like "Pimps and Preachers" and "What the Hell Is Goin' On" with a party-starting energy that always gets fans rocking. From the first guitar riff to the last cymbal crash, these guys have a blast on stage, and ticket buyers lucky enough to catch them live will experience the fun firsthand.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Wisconsin-born, Mississippi-raised Paul Thorn was a professional boxer before music became his main gig. After winning several titles and fighting a nationally-televised match against a former world champion, Thorn hung up the gloves in favor of a factory job and a hobby as a musician. After several years of playing local gigs he was discovered by Miles Copeland, brother of The Police drummer Stuart Copeland, and soon after he signed a deal with A&M Records. He made his album debut on the label in 1997 with Hammer and Nail, following up with Ain't Love Strange in 1999 and Mission Temple Fireworks Stand in 2002. His potent rock sound and electric showmanship landed him on tour with acts like Toby Keith and Sting, and his animated performances on the road further grew his fanbase. In 2008 he released his fourth album A Long Way from Tupelo to a No. 7 spot on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart, supporting the release with late night TV appearances on Conan and Jimmy Kimmel. Since then Thorn has released two critically and commercially successful albums, and he continues to impress with rollicking performances on tour.
