Musician/Producer Christopher Thorn is the guest on this episode of DISCovery. Christopher is the guitarist and one of the founding members of Blind Melon along with the late great Shannon Hoon, guitarist Rogers Stevens, drummer Glen Graham and bassist Brad Smith.
After Shannon’s passing in 1995 Christopher continued to establish a career as a producer, played with the band Live, produced and performed with AWOL Nation who had a huge hit single with "Sail" in 2011 and formed a couple of other great bands along the way - Unified Theory and Sonny Boy Thorn.
Christopher talks about where he grew up, his career highlights, including what it was like when Blind Melon’s "No Rain" became a huge hit in 1993, playing on Saturday Night Live, hangin' with Richard Simmons, getting on the cover of Rolling Stone, opening for The Rolling Stones, Axl Rose and more. Christopher also shares some Shannon Hoon stories and talks about the new Shannon Hoon documentary out now called "All I Can Say".
