Dallas: Paul Thorn at The Kessler Theater
July 19 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Paul Thorn and his band roll into Dallas this July for a night of blues-soaked Southern rock. The Tupelo, Mississippi native spent time as a professional boxer before turning to music full time, and that scrappy backstory still colors his songwriting. As a result, Thorn’s catalog balances hard-luck humor with genuine warmth.
Since his early albums, Thorn has built a reputation as one of the most reliable storytellers on the Americana circuit. His songs mix gospel harmonies, blue-collar detail, and a wry sense of humor that keeps audiences laughing between verses. Because his live show leans on that same chemistry, a Paul Thorn night at the Kessler tends to feel more like a family reunion than a concert.
About the Kessler Theater
The Kessler Theater reopened in 2010 after a careful restoration of its original 1942 Art Deco design. Since then, the Oak Cliff venue has become one of Dallas’s go-to rooms for songwriter-driven shows.
