Snazzy Productions is proud to present acclaimed Americana singer-songwriter Paul Thorn, with Will Hoge opening the evening, on Friday, April 11 at the historic Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz. The show begins at 7:00 PM.

Known for his gritty Southern soul, razor-sharp wit, and deeply human songwriting, Paul Thorn has built a devoted following through decades of relentless touring and critically praised albums. His music blends blues, country, gospel, and rock into songs that are by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and hopeful—delivered with the kind of storytelling honesty that keeps audiences leaning forward in their seats.

Opening the show is Nashville-based singer-songwriter Will Hoge, whose career spans multiple Grammy nominations, chart-topping singles, and songs recorded by artists such as the Eli Young Band and Gary Allan. Hoge’s powerful voice and blue-collar anthems make him a perfect complement to Thorn’s soulful, roots-driven sound.

The Rio Theatre provides an intimate and iconic setting for an evening of top-tier American songwriting, making this a must-see event for fans of roots, Americana, and live music at its finest.
