Willie Nelson’s in town, but the Bilheimer Cap will be filled to the brim with honky-tonk and Americana fans when Paul Thorn arrives with his trademark humor, ridiculously-thick Southern drawl and cutting songs in tow. The Mississippi songwriter has a long history of playing shows in Tampa Bay, and you can bet he’ll reference every era of it when he supports Don’t Let the Devil Ride, and approaches the the 20th anniversary of one of his masterpiece albums Ain’t Love Strange, in Clearwater.
Paul Thorn w/Gary Douglas Band. Fri. Feb. 14, 8 p.m. $26-$36. Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, Clearwater. rutheckerdhall.com
