With a pastoral upbringing in northern Wisconsin, Ross Thorn’s music emanates as a warm and soulful hymn. His sharply crafted and often humorous lyrics—distinctly reminiscent of great folk artists like John Prine—reveal internal struggles of empathy and questions of human character, often finding solace in some unanticipated truth.
