What fans are saying
June 30th 2025
His super-tight band was in great form, and so was the leader. Chris Simmons gets inside of all his solos and fills, and looks the part of a southern guitar hero to boot. The rhythm section is solid and grooving, although they could be given a few more chances to expand and show off some.
If anything, his drawl has only grown thicker over time, while his singing voice is as rich and warm as his intro stories. His impish side works seamlessly with and in stark contrast to the serious themes of down-on-their-luck everyday folk, losing loved ones to early dementia as well as death, and assuring unhappiness by falling for someone out of your league.
I heard another new detail about his bout with Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran, too: that they rode to the hospital together in the same ambulance to get stitched up after the fight.
Don't miss the PBT when they come 'round!

Paul Thorn Biography
Singer, songwriter, and pentecostal preacher's son from Tupelo, Mississippi. His latest single, Tough Times Don't Last, is available now!
Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career, pleasing crowds with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern American, yet also speaking universal truths. Among those who value originality, inspiration, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes, worked for years in a furniture factory, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television, signed with and been dropped by a major label, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Sting, and John Prine among many others, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s also appeared on major television shows such as Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live, been the subject of numerous National Public Radio (NPR) features and charted multiple times on the Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radio Charts.
