Paul Thorn | Conversations | MPB

Tupelo singer-songwriter Paul Thorn has toured with the likes of Sting, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt and Jeff Beck, but now he commands his own audiences as the main attraction. He has shown up on late night TV and is an NPR favorite. And as a former professional boxer, he’s even jumped into the ring with Roberto Duran. His collection of life events and interesting songs make for a lively and entertaining discussion.

[@joelaughlin2815]

Just a great guy, n his daughter rocks!

[@dayne9130]

Look, Paul's a good time. Ive been to a few of his shows, one being Merlefest. Paul didnt leave until everyones hands were shook and hugs given. He puts on such a show. Hes funny, an excellent storyteller and an incredible artist. If you ever get the chance to see him perform, go. You wont be disappointed. Thornie for life!

[@ricksouthernrebelatheart5138]

And we can’t wait to see him in September your so right he’s a outstanding Man 👍Because it’s the things he’s learned in life and took with him

[@sweetbamabelle]

Paul is one of the most humble and down to earth men I have ever met. His family is warm and welcoming. He is such a breath of fresh air. Got more talent in his pinkie than most will ever have.

Paul Thorn saved my life

[@ianking-jv4hg]

Thanks Paul Thorn and thanks Conversations.

[@2020heinsite]

I somehow stumbled onto Paul Thorn years ago and he immediately became one of my favorites... and is still to this day. I love this guy's music. Listen to him enough & you discover pure southern hospitality at it's finest & purest. And if Paul hasn't been interviewed by Terry Gross yet it's WAY past time! She needs to get him in at least 3 or 4 times!

[@machobob9401]

I watched the fight. Paul was never really out of it. Like he said, he nutted up a little and never opened up completely and let his hands go. But if he did, perhaps we wouldn't have all this amazing music to listen to. Paul is one of m greatest musical inspirations.

[@jamessweet1280]

I love Paul's music, but his ability to connect to people is his true talent and blessing. God bless you Paul and your family!

[@gumbo123]

Paul's music is always great, but his true calling is as a story teller. If the lyrics didn't have meaning in his life, the songs wouldn't be nearly as meaningful to him or entertaining to us fans. THANKS, PAUL!

[@guitarTennisCarHomeFixFlying]

Catch a Paul Thorn show. U get two shows, the stories! and songs!

[@rodneychristian9834]

Love me some Paul Thorn! I''m a fan for life.

[@brittanylee2024]

he isn't like other artists his music actually speaks to people in ways we can't explain

[@seffagepower]

I’ve met this man a few times from when I was a toddler to a 20 year old and each time he’s the same genuinely nice guy and he’s right... he definitely has fans for life 🤟🏼 I’ll see you in Petaluma on the 29th Paul!

[@scotta.2967]

Paul is a great artist and it seems a good dude. “The gems are in the gutter “ brilliant

[@charlesmarshall2697]

I just saw him in Charleston and enjoyed him more than any act we have seen there. A true son of the south.

[@TheGregWallace]

He is the best, the wife and I are big fans. Keep up the good work Paul and the entire band. Paul and all of the band members are some of the best players I know.

[@anissafloyd]

Paul Thorn , Is the Best Under Rated Artist out there,, going to see him again in 13 days,,, Chatanooga ,Tn . "Dont Let The Devil Ride"

[@johnstewart6366]

Very talented, both as a songwriter, and a performer. He seems very grounded as well. Some of his songs reflect well on his marvelous sense of humor. I think it's a good idea to interact with fans, too - that way, like he said, it builds a loyal fan base. Wish you well, Paul!!

[@crieverytim]

excellent. glad to have discovered this guy. blew my mind when it was revealed he fought Duran!!!

[@roygunter3244]

I worked several shows at a music venue, lots of country artists came through and one of them, Clint Black was just starting at the time. As they were setting up the stage he came out and walked around and made sure he made eye contact with everyone there and said hello, how are you. I knew then he would be a star because just like Paul Thorn he knew if the fans like you that is what makes a career. The first time I heard Paul Thorn I was taken, I am a fan.

[@amandalynn9378]

i love how hes gets his fans.....

[@johnnygavita]

Common ground, it's what we find in his stories and we thank you Sir!

[@conniemarlow9719]

Can't wait to see you in Knoxville!!! Conni, Ricky and "Charles"... ❤️

[@TheGregWallace]

True genuine talent! If you ever get a chance to go to one of his shows, GO! You will be happy you did.

[@perfectfan2006]

Love your music Paul!. It speaks to me and really enjoy it. I plan on learning it and sharing it with others. Please continue to share your gifts

[@thetimburden]

Love your honesty Paul. I played "Ain't Living In Sin No More" at my daughters wedding as a joke. I got some looks but I thought it was funny mostly because it wasn't true in their situation. Come to Ky soon.

[@rogercook9793]

One of the greatest!!!!

[@Darin-USMCB--]

Paul has a Keen insight into Human Nature, Very smart.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Paul's birthday is day-after-tomorrow (July 13), by the way.

[@jag3217]

6:00 in Amen Paul I like the way you think dude

[@lornebain3831]

Paul Thorn....... like to meet up with you.... not too shabby

[@RKWWWW]

I came here after watching the Duran fight.

[@jeremyjamesmusic]

Is he saying Sting or Staind?

[@jblcva]

Haven't seem them for a while. True, the records are not as good as older records. I personally turned 500 or more people on to P.T. music. Warning Paul Thorn music may become habit forming. Rocky Mount Va was my last show.

[@tonymignogno7656]

Absolute insult to Duran.... and you still fly on his coattails... someone ejse opens the door for puzzeled paul ....
