Paul Simon tickets

Paul Simon is an American singer-songwriter and philanthropist who has become one of the most accomplished musicians of the last 60 years.

Originally half of Simon and Garfunkel, the duo’s literary lyrics, sculpted melodies, and exquisite harmonies combined for a folk-pop sound that earned them 11 several awards thanks to enduring hits including the chart-toppers “Mrs. Robinson”, “The Sound Of Silence” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Simon launched his solo career after the duo split in 1970 due to artistic differences.

On his own Simon has had thirteen top 40 hits in the US and won five more Grammy Awards, including two wins for Album of the Year, for Still Crazy After All These Years in 1976 and Graceland in 1987. He joins Stevie Wonder, U2, Taylor Swift and Frank Sinatra as artists with more than one Album of the Year victory (Simon and Garfunkel also won album of the year in 1971 for Bridge over Troubled Water). In 2003, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy.

In 2009, Simon reunited with Garfunkel for their fourth and final performances together on the Old Friends Tour. In 2010, the two were going to do a 13-date tour but Garfunkel lost his voice for four years.

Simon has continued receiving accolades for his decades of works, including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and he was the first person to receive the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress.
