Based in Tupelo, Mississippi, he is celebrated for his “muscular” brand of roots music and a songwriting. Thorn’s music style balances “plainspoken, humor-laced profundity” with gritty realism.
Paul Thorn typically performs with his long-running road band. The band is comprised of lead guitarist Bill Hinds, bassist Ralph Friedrichsen, drummer Jeffrey Perkins, and keyboardist Michael Graham.
