In 1997, Thorn released his first record Hammer and Nail and has been on the road ever since.
Paul Thorn's stage career began opening for Sting, and since then he has played with other greats including but not limited to, Mark Knoplfer, Jeff Beck, Richard Thompson, and John Prine. in September 2021, Thorn released his latest album Never Too Late to Call.
On this episode of Americana Podcast, Thorn discusses getting sober, his upbringing, Elvis, writing and more.
