The legendary singer-songwriter debuts his critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated album Seven Psalms, while also taking us through a remarkable journey of his enduring songbook. Don't miss this rare evening with one of music's greatest icons.
Throughout his illustrious career, Paul Simon has earned numerous accolades, including 12 Grammy Awards - three of which were for Album of Year for "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Still Crazy After All These Years," and "Graceland." He was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his groundbreaking work as part of Simon and Garfunkel and was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame both as a member of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist. Additionally, he is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, where he received the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award.
Simon's iconic song "Mrs. Robinson" from the motion picture The Graduate was named one of the top ten songs on the American Film Institutes 100 Years 100 Songs list. He was awarded the Kennedy Center Honors in 2002 and was named one of Time magazine's 100 People Who Shape Our World in 2006. In 2007, Paul Simon became the first recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. This prestigious award, named after the legendary George and Ira Gershwin, recognizes the profound and positive effect of popular music on the world's culture and is given annually to a composer or performer whose lifetime contributions exemplify the standard of excellence associated with the Gershwins.
