Book sales are featured on-site throughout the entire event, and a casual book signing with all the authors concludes the festival.

PAUL THORN
2026-01-06 17:30 - 21:00 | The Boathouse Steamboat, 609 Yampa Street, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, 80487
Join us for this very special fundraising concert with acclaimed southern singer-songwriter Paul Thorn at the Boathouse. Enjoy complimentary beer, wine, soft drinks, and hors d’oeuvres while taking in live music in the Boathouse’s elegant event space in downtown Steamboat.

When 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.
