Paul Simon
Homeward Bound Performance by Watfolk Folk Club at Farm Fest 2022
In the summer of 2022, Paul Simon graced the stage at Farm Fest, an event that not only showcased his enduring talents but also underscored his commitment to community and charity. This performance took place on July 23 at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, where Simon delivered his classic 'Homeward Bound.' Prior to this, in 2021, he released 'In the Blue Light,' an album that highlighted a unique collection of reimagined songs from his extensive catalog. This phase of Simon's career reflects a blend of nostalgia and innovation, allowing him to revisit past works while still pushing creative boundaries. Interestingly, Simon has always been known for his socially conscious lyrics, and the festival's focus on supporting local causes aligns perfectly with his ethos. So, witnessing him live, surrounded by passionate collaborators, makes the experience even more enriching.
