Paul Thorn didn't intend to be a musician, but the strength of his original songs (which he'd been playing weekly for folks at a pizza joint) caught the attention of Miles Copeland who, at the time, was managing Sting and The Police. That connection led to a publishing deal and recording contract, which then led to an opening slot on Sting's tour, performing to crowds of over 10,000 people every night.
Thorn's new album Never Too Late To Call is his first collection of original material in almost seven years. During that time, Thorn's drinking had started spiraling to the point where his productivity was stunted. Now sober (six months as we talked), Thorn's new songs face his own demons head on, but also shed light on the importance of reaching out and reconnecting with to the circle of loved ones around you. A couple of those people, Thorn's wife and daughter, make cameos on the album.
