ABOUT THE BAND
Shades of Simon present their highly acclaimed 2 hour theatre show The Paul Simon Story. The show is performed in tribute to Paul Simon as one of the best songwriters of his generation and blends an engaging narration, exceptional musicianship from the 5-piece band, and authentic renditions of the best of his songs from his time in Simon & Garfunkel in the 60’s through to his South African inspired Graceland tour in the 1980’s.
The band is comprised of professional level musicians who all share a love of Paul Simon’s music and get together over the Summer months each year to do a limited number of performances of their show at venues which have ranged from stately homes, picnic concerts for the National Trust and shows at provincial theatres and art centres throughout the East of England.

Rayleigh Rocks!

Had a great time performing our show at the Mill arts & events centre Rayleigh.

And a special thanks to Eternity Events Essex for bringing the hall to life with a superb light show!
