The musical and songwriter legend known as Paul Simon, has helped to lead the ’60s and ’70s Rock music with his inimitable Simon & Garfunkel collaboration, and then later as a solo performer with 15 albums to his name. Of those, 7 titles have sold into the millions, and have spawned worldwide hit singles like “Kodachrome”, “Mother & Child Reunion”, “Slip Slidin’ Away”, and “You Can Call Me Al” (to name but a few). His music is easily referenced as timeless especially from his Simon & Garfunkel years. At the age of 84, Paul Simon may have slowed down in creative output but he is still active. He released the acoustic Seven Psalms project (nominated for a Grammy) in 2023 and toured it in 2025 and 2026.
On October 9, Legacy Recordings will release the music from his Marion Oliver McCaw Hall show in Seattle, WA from two nights that encompass August 5th and 6th of 2025. The multi-discs will contain his Seven Psalms suite as well as a collection of songs that he is known for. The package will be titled after his tour name, The Quiet Celebration.
The Quiet Celebration Concert will be made available on 2CD, DD, and 3LP black vinyl press.
