About Simon

Simon is one of those artists who somehow manages to be both impossibly prolific and genuinely experimental. His catalog spans folk-rock foundations to world music collaborations to synth-driven pop, often within the same album. He's got this thing where he'll disappear into a project—a South African township collaboration, a Subway Stories documentary score—and come back with something that shouldn't work but does. What keeps people coming back is that underneath all the genre-hopping and studio tinkering, there's a genuinely precise way he writes about mundane moments and makes them feel like they mean something. The man's been making albums for fifty years and still seems more interested in solving compositional puzzles than in being a rock star, which is probably why people still take him seriously.

His shows are attentive, almost scholarly. The crowd leans in rather than loses it. He'll adjust arrangements on the fly, try new versions of old songs. You get the sense he's still working through ideas onstage. People don't scream; they listen.

Known for You Can Leave Your Hat On, The Obvious Child, Graceland, Call Me Al, The Boy in the Bubble

Simon in Worcester News

Live Music in Worcester

Worcester's music landscape has shifted toward supporting more established touring acts at venues like The Palladium and Mechanics Hall. The city has a working-class sensibility that tends to appreciate artists with substance over flash—people who've actually done something and stuck around. Simon fits that ethos.

Worcester road trip to see Simon?

Stay in the Elm Hill neighborhood — it's got actual character with tree-lined streets and the best local dining concentration. Book a table at Elm Tavern for elevated comfort food, then spend an afternoon at the Worcester Art Museum, which has a surprisingly strong collection that rewards a couple hours. If you want something quieter before the show, The Hanover Theatre is worth checking even if you're not catching a play — the building itself is an ornate 1904 gem. The walk from Elm Hill to the venue area is doable and keeps you off the highway entirely.
