Biography
Paul Thorn hails from Tupelo, Miss., and as the son of a Church of God
minister, he traveled with his father, playing tambourine in church
revivals. He began pursuing music as a career by working in a
furniture factory by day, playing in area clubs and
restaurants at night. While performing at a Tupelo pizza joint, he was
discovered by a representative of legendary manager Miles Copeland (The
Police, Sting). He has toured extensively, frequently as a
special guest of musicians
such as Toby Keith, Sting, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, John Hiatt,
Richard Thompson, Robert Cray, Marianne Faithfull and John Prine. In
addition, he has co-written with artists as diverse as Jon Bon Jovi,
Timothy B. Schmit (The Eagles), Kim Richey and Carole King. Musically,
Thorn takes his rootsy style of gospel infused rock to
a more refined place. His new album "Are You With Me?" is a
slicked-back, more R&B flavor than his previous albums and
is topped with the sweet, sweet sound of chicks and horns.
