NEXT SHOW: July 24 - Paul Thorn
This is the fifth time Paul Thorn and his band have been with us, and each time here, they have hit the proverbial homerun with our audience. So, when they reached out to say they were coming through in July, even though we don’t normally do shows in the summer months, there was no question that we would start the Fall series early this year … and boy, are we excited!

When sharing biographical information about Paul Thorn, it’s hard not to mention that he was a professional boxer who once fought the great Roberto Duran on national television. But it’s as a crowd-pleasing, roots-rocking, truth-telling singer-songwriter that Paul Thorn has made his mark.
Paul has been featured on PBS, NPR, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and also an amazing episode of TFT-TV (Tales from the Tavern Television.)
Paul and the guys continue to tour extensively, and are regulars on many of the Rock, Blues and Americana musical cruise events.
We are thrilled to welcome Paul Thorn, and tonight – at Paul’s request, an opening set by Tony McGee, for a special night at Tales from the Tavern!
