Paul Thorn comes from good old rockin' blues country in Tupelo, Mississippi, did his first gigs at the age of three while traveling with his evangelist father, had a career as a professional boxer (he went seven rounds with Roberto Duran on national television), made chairs for a living, and goes skydiving for fun. The area I come from is very rich in music tradition, he says of the birthplace he shares with Elvis Presley, as evident in his splendid mixture of musical moods that move across the spectrum of roots music. Noted as a songwriter in Nashville-Tanya Tucker, Joe Diffie, Shenandoah, and Ronnie Milsap are among those who have recorded his songs-Paul brings his high-energy, live wire solo performance style to the Freight for an evening of down home music along with stories you'll love to hear again and again. Last year Perpetual Obscurity Records released Paul's fourth album Still No Hits.
