Sunday Night is the Paul Thorn Band concert at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. I blogged about him last year. Paul Thorn is from Tupelo, Mississippi. He is the son of a Pentecostal preacher and could not go to movies, concerts, or anything growing up. He did perform at tent meetings from 5 years old. The first concert that he ever went to, he was the opening act for STING at the Hollywood Bowl in LA! He was also a professional boxer for a while and lasted 8 rounds with Roberto Duran, the world champ. He sings blues rock country gospel ballads. In other words he is unique. He tells stories between songs in his southern drawl and his songs range from thoughtful ballads about everyday people and the human condition like "800 Pound Jesus" to funny songs like, "Jonie, the Jehovah's Witness Stripper" or "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand". His song, "Everybody Looks Good at The Starting Line" is a favorite.
I am not going out on a limb to say, "If you like good music from a good guy, Take the time to go Sunday Night."
FYI: I have two tickets left that I will give to anyone who came get them from me Sunday. Free
