Paul Simon Sets North American Tour Seven Years After Retiring From Touring

Here comes Rhymin’ Simon — again.

After having retired from touring in 2018 due to hearing loss, Paul Simon is hitting the road for a four-month North American tour of intimate venues starting April 4 in New Orleans and running through August 3 in Seattle.

The jaunt, dubbed A Quiet Celebration, will hit 20 cities over 55 dates, with stops at Disney Hall in Los Angeles, the Beacon in New York City and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. See the full itinerary below.

The trek will support his Grammy-nominated 2023 album Seven Psalms but will feature tracks from throughout his solo career and Simon & Garfunkel days.

Simon, 83, is a Rock Hall of Famer and 16-time Grammy winner, who shared the record for most Album of the Year Grammys until Taylor Swift broke it with her fourth last year. He has six gold, four platinum and two multiplatinum solo albums, led by 1986’s 5 million seller Graceland, which was his second Album of the Year Grammy winner as a solo act and third overall, having won for 1970’s Bridge Over Troubled Water.

His teaming with Art Garfunkel in Simon & Garfunkel produced a string of multiplatinum albums and a slew of pop classics including three chart-topping singles — “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson” from The Graduate and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” which was the No. 1 single of 1970. He also had a half-dozen Top 10 hits as a solo artist, including the No. 1 “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.”

He has made more than 20 appearances on Saturday Night Live including four hosting gigs, and he kicked of SNL50 over the weekend by performing “Homeward Bound” with Sabrina Carpenter.T
