Paul Thorn with Kristopher James - Heartwood Soundstage

Paul Thorn
When 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 big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years as a pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s 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.

Kristopher James
Creative Loafing writes “a kindred musical spirit to artists like Gavin DeGraw and Amos Lee, (Kristopher's) vocals are perfectly reigned in and his easy gift for melody is unrivaled...Kristopher is perhaps the most interesting musician on the scene”. Kristopher continues to captivate audiences throughout the South East, with his songs and stories, touring with his band in theaters and club venues, as well as supplying direct support for acts such as First Aid Kit, Marc Broussard, Ryan David Harris, Morgan James and Maggie Rose! Sharing bills with The Temptations, Anderson East, The Revivalists, Black Puma sand Mavis Staples.
