Paul Simon Announces Fall 2011 Tour Dates

It's going to be a busy fall for Paul Simon. The singer/songwriter is set to release remastered versions of four of his most famous albums, and a collection of 32 songs that showcase how he's grown as a songwriter, plus he'll be touring the United States. Simon clearly shows no signs of a slow down as he reaches age 70.

Tickets for all 23 shows are on sale now. Many are through Ticketmaster, but visit his official website for a specific link. The tour begins on Oct. 17 in Phoenix, Ariz. and wraps up Nov. 23 in Akron, Ohio. Other cities on the itinerary include Detroit, Mich., Omaha, Neb., New Orleans, La. and Memphis, Tenn.

As previously reported, Simon will release 'Songwriter,' a collection of 32 of his most well known hits that demonstrate how he's progressed as a songwriter. The double disc album reaches back to his days with Simon and Garfunkel and includes songs like 'So Beautiful or So What' from his most recent studio album.

“I think of myself as a songwriter first, the recording artist and performer in me follow in the writer’s footsteps,' Simon says. Visit his official website for more information on this project as well as the four remastered CDs ('One Trick Pony,' 'Hearts and Bones,' 'Graceland' and 'The Rhythm of the Saints') he'll be re-releasing the same day.
