Paul Simon has found a way to continue performing live despite his hearing loss, announcing "A Quiet Celebration" tour across North America in 2024. The tour will feature intimate venues with optimal acoustics to accommodate his condition.

Simon will debut performances from his 2023 album "Seven Psalms" alongside new arrangements of his classic hits. Working with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss and his production team, Simon has redesigned his stage setup to make performances possible despite losing hearing in his left ear.

• Caleb Burhans (viola)
• Jamey Haddad (percussion)
• Gyan Riley (guitar)
• Mick Rossi (piano, keys)
