The Paul Thorn Band @ Sierra Nevada Mills River
May 2 all-day

6 PM DOORS | 7PM SHOW | $30+ adv. Event Information and Tickets

Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career, pleasing crowds with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern American, yet also speaking universal truths. Among those who value originality, inspiration, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, raised among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before.

The view from our tree-lined brewery is something special no matter the season. Cool down in the Taproom with a farm-fresh salad and small plates, or soak in the sun on our Back Porch with a beer and a snack. Check out our upcoming events and more! click here

Hailing from Greenville, the trio delivers the magic through an upright bass, guitar, banjo, fiddle, harmonica, and mandolin. From the  moment your ears catch up with their sound and you feel their sheer enthusiasm, you will find yourself hooked and wanting more.” – Carrianne Stoker-Postier, Digital Beat Magazine
