SUMMARY:Grand Opening Benefit Concert with The Paul Thorn Band
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to the Pangea Gardens Grand Opening Benefit Concert with The Paul Thorn Band on October 3rd\, 2026. Tickets are available for public sale here. \nThe gates open at 12:30 pm. Enjoy a picnic lunch before the concert starts. Pack your own or purchase a delicious lunch prepared by The Floyd Country Store. While you’re here\, stroll the paths throughout our three beautiful gardens\, explore the wider grounds and discover one delightful surprise after another. The Paul Thorn Band will play from 2-4 pm in The Love Nest\, a 220 seat indoor music hall on site. \nABOUT PAUL THORN \nWhen it comes to songwriting\, less is more\, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn\, who’s spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years as a pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s targeting heads\, hearts\, hips or the occasional funny bone\, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras\, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed. \nThorn’s new album\, Life is Just A Vapor\, contains some beauties: “Life is a vapor\, let’s live it while we can”; “tough times don’t last\, but tough people do” (from “Tough Times Don’t Last”); “any mountain up ahead is just a hill” (from “Old Melodies”). They’re words of advice\, comfort\, support\, encouragement\, often meant to uplift\, especially in times of struggle. \n“I like for people to be touched by music and get something from it\, something that they can take with them throughout the day\,” Thorn says. “Every song on this album\, there’s a message in it of some sort about how to live life.”
