Paul Simon is one of those musicians who might have actually been more successful once he went solo (ditching poor, frizzy-haired Garfunkle), and props to him for that. He's a classic storyteller. And with an album as great as Graceland, his talent is simply undeniable.

But that old dog has got some new tricks, too. Simon is hitting the road to support his latest album, So Beautiful Or So What. And believe me, it sure is beautiful.

Joining Paul Simon with shows of their own are Sting, Family Force 5, and BLESSTHEFALL.
