Event Details
FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:PAUL THORN at FITZGERALDS Historic Nightclub (Night 2 of 2)$35 General Admission (some seats, mostly standing room only) / Reserved Tables Available When it comes to songwriting, less is more, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn, whos spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years asa pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether hes targeting heads, hearts, hips or the occasional funny bone, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed. Thorns new album, Life is Just A Vapor, contains some beauties: Life is a vapor, lets live it while we can; tough times dont last, but tough people do (from Tough Times Dont Last); any mountain up ahead is just a hill (from Old Melodies). Theyre words of advice, comfort, support,encouragement, often meant to uplift, especially in times of struggle. I like for people to be touched by music and get something from it, something that they can take with them throughout the day, Thorn says.Every song on this album, theres a message in it of some sortabout how to live life.American Blues Scene writer Don Wilcock calls Thorn an everyman (who)addresses things we all think about,but few can articulate with the kind of candor, humor and folksy truth that immediately endear him to almost everyone lucky enough to hear his music.
