Paul Simon will embark on an extensive tour this spring, winding up in Queens.
Simon plans to play 31 shows across North America beginning with his headline appearance at Jazz Fest in New Orleans on April 29. He wraps up on June 30 at the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, which is reportedly just a few blocks from his childhood home. It will be his first performance at this venue since 1970 with Simon and Garfunkel.
According to Rolling Stone, the tour coincides with the release of his new album, Stranger to Stranger, to drop this spring. This is his first album since the 2011 release of So Beautiful or So What.
Simon is the winner of 12 Grammy Awards, three of which (Bridge Over Troubled Water, Still Crazy After All These Years and Graceland) were albums of the year. He’s famous for his work both as a solo artist and with his work in the duo Simon and Garfunkel. His song “Mrs. Robinson,” from the motion picture “The Graduate,” was named in the top 10 of The American Film Institute’s 100 Years 100 Songs.
