Paul Simon

In July 2022, Paul Simon made a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, joining Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats for a memorable rendition of his classic, 'The Boxer.' This special moment came a few years after Simon released 'In the Blue Light' in 2018, an album that reimagined some of his earlier works. His collaboration with Rateliff not only showcased Simon's timeless appeal but also highlighted the deep connections within the music community—two generations merging through shared artistry. The Newport performance was a joyous celebration, reflecting Simon’s enduring legacy and influence, especially as he continues to perform despite having announced his retirement from extensive touring a few years prior.
