COVID-19 is not the worst thing that Paul Thorn has faced in the last few years, and the Mississippi songwriter is probably going to talk to fans about it when he plays Clearwater’s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on March 26, 2022.
In 2018, the “I Don’t Like Half The Folks I Love” songsmith’s sister Deborah, died of cancer. As one of his biggest supporters, it’s only natural that Thorn’s upcoming album, Never Too Late To Call, will be dedicated to her, upon its Aug. 6 release. Its title track, which would serve as a gorgeous tribute on its own, released back in November.
Though the new record is certainly something to look forward to, this stop at the Cap—located in the heart of historic downtown Clearwater—is the only Florida date on the itinerary for Thorn, who’s pretty much an adopted son of Tampa Bay.
