American Musics Series: Paul Simon
— —
Franke Tobey Jones Wellness Center, 5340 N Bristol St, Tacoma, WA
Many musicians defy genre. Some musicians dance across it. Combining conventionally American singer-songwriter storytelling with influences from Cajun zydeco, West African isicathamiya, and Brazilian samba, Paul Simon's music offers an incredible window into the nature of cross-cultural collaborations. Join bassist Nick Rawson and guitarist EJ Crocker as they trace Paul Simon's career, from his acoustic roots to his pan-cultural later sound. 4:00 pm, MJ Wicks Wellness Center
