FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:PAUL THORN at FITZGERALDS Historic Nightclub (Night 1 of 2)$35 General Admission (some seats, mostly standing room only) / Reserved Tables AvailableWhen it comes to songwriting, less is more, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn,who's spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a bigwallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years asa pro boxer; maybe it justcomes naturally. But whether he's targeting heads, hearts, hips or the occasional funny bone, hesomehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras, the kindembroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed.Thorn's new album,Life is Just A Vapor, contains some beauties: "Life is a vapor, let's live itwhile we can"; "tough times don't last, but tough people do" (from "Tough Times Don't Last");"any mountain up ahead is just a hill" (from "Old Melodies"). They're 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 takewith them throughout the day," Thorn says."Every song on this album, there's a message in it ofsome sortabout how to live life."American Blues Scene writer Don Wilcock calls Thorn "an everyman(who)addresses things weall think about,but few can articulate with the kind of candor, humor and folksy truth thatimmediately endear him to almost everyone lucky enough to hear his music.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website)Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw.***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, minors admitted with guardian
