Paul Thorn is bringing his latest album of gospel songs back to Clearwater, and this time the 54-year-old Tupelo songwriter has brought Bonnie Bishop along. The Grammy-winning songwriter has already checked life goals off of her bucket list, but she’s not stopping yet (Bishop’s idol, Bonnie Raitt, recorded her song “Not Cause I Wanted To” in 2012 and Bishop has also seen her song “The Best Songs Come From Broken Hearts” featured on since-cancelled ABC series Nashville). Get to downtown Clearwater early to see the opening set.

Paul Thorn w/Bonnie Bishop. Fri. Feb. 8, 8 p.m. $26-$36. Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. rutheckerdhall.com.
