He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and became the first ever recipient of the Library of Congress&#8217;s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in 2007.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Simon<\/strong> hits include <em>\u2018The Boy in The Bubble\u2019, \u2018Kodachrome\u2019, \u2018Loves Me Like a Rock\u2019, \u2018Late in<\/em> the <em>Evening\u2019, \u2018The Only Living Boy in New York\u2019,<\/em> <strong><em>\u2018<\/em><\/strong><em>Slip Slidin\u2019 Away\u2019, \u2018Still Crazy After All These Years\u2019, \u2018You Can Call Me Al\u2019, \u2018Graceland\u2019, \u2018Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard\u2019, \u201850 Ways To Leave Your Lover\u2019, \u2018Diamonds On the Soles Of Her Shoes\u2019, \u2018Something So Right\u2019, \u2018I Know What I Know\u2019, \u2018Under African Skies\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During the 1980s, <strong>Simon<\/strong> became fascinated by African and Brazilian music. His interests took him to South Africa in 1985, where he began recording his crowning achievement, <strong><em>Graceland<\/em>.<\/strong> Combining elements of rock, zydeco, Tex-Mex, Zulu choral singing, and mbaqanga, or \u2018township jive\u2019, the album captured a sound that wasn&#8217;t quite like anything anyone had heard before. A ground breaking and risky departure from Simon&#8217;s earlier projects, <strong><em>Graceland<\/em> <\/strong>proved to be one of the most important record releases of the 1980s, helping put South African music on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>Although <strong>Paul Simon&#8217;s<\/strong> unique, carefully constructed contributions to American music could be called innovative, he insists that the process has a lot to do with discovery. &#8220;I&#8217;m more interested in what I discover than what I invent. You don&#8217;t possess it. You can&#8217;t control it or dictate to it. You&#8217;re just waiting. Waiting&#8230; for the show to begin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With that credo he brings his fabulous new album to showcase in Australia: \u2018So Beautiful or So What\u2019. Taking more than a year to perfect Simon has revealed that \u2018So Beautiful or So What\u2019 reminds him of his very first solo release, his acclaimed 1972 album \u2018Paul Simon\u2019. It\u2019s been getting rave reviews, not least from his contemporaries.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis remarkable, thoughtful often joyful record deserves to be recognised as Paul Simon\u2019s very finest achievements\u201d \u2013 <\/em><strong>Elvis Costello<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bluesfest is truly humbled to welcome <strong>Paul Simon<\/strong> to the stage on Easter Monday!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulsimon.com\">www.paulsimon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RUFUS WAINWRIGHT <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Affectionately referred to by Elton John as \u201cthe greatest songwriter on the planet\u201d and praised by the <em>New York Times<\/em> for his \u201cgenuine originality,\u201d Grammy nominee <strong>Rufus Wainwright<\/strong> has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation.\u00a0 He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright, but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theater, dance and film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wainwright\u2019s<\/strong> catalogue includes eight albums and two DVDs to date, and he has appeared on numerous soundtracks and compilations, as well as collaborating with artists like Elton John, David Byrne, Rosanne Cash and Keane.<\/p>\n<p>His latest recording, <em>All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu<\/em>, was released in April 2010 to critical acclaim with <em>People Magazine<\/em> dubbing the album Critic\u2019s Choice noting <strong>Wainwright<\/strong> <em>\u201cbrings the album to a beautifully intimate level with just voice, piano and some deeply personal lyrics.\u00a0Bravo.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>And <em>Billboard Magazine<\/em> thought <strong>Rufus\u2019 <\/strong>\u201c<em>solo piano accompaniment highlights his extremely adaptable voice\u2026a single piano is all that\u2019s needed to show off his immense vocal talent.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>He has composed the music and 11 original songs for a theatrical adaptation of Shakespeare&#8217;s Sonnets with noted Director Robert Wilson at the Berliner Ensemble, which premiered in April of 2009 and continues to play to sold-out houses and travelled to various festivals internationally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wainwright\u2019s<\/strong> much acclaimed first opera, titled <em>Prima Donna<\/em>, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009.\u00a0 The work recently received a 2011 Dora Award for Outstanding New Musical\/Opera and will make its long-awaited US debut in February 2012 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music\u2019s Howard Gilman Opera House.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you don\u2019t miss <strong>Rufus Wainwright <\/strong>at Bluesfest on Easter Monday.
