Paul Simon is doing a set of five shows—debut performances of his most recent album, Seven Psalms. It was warmly received by critics, magazines, and fans. While the sound may not encourage you to get down on the dance floor, it does encourage you to listen and think. With jazzy dissonance Simon ponders faith, nature. spirituality, and death. The concerts are shaping up to be intimate, a chance for audiences to feel closer to Simon and to peer into the soul of a songwriting legend. —Henry McGrath
