The Only Living Boy In (new)york - Gary Stewart Performs The Songs Of Paul Simon

Venue is a mix of seating and standing

Gary Stewart is a singer/songwriter from Perthshire who cut his teeth performing on the Leeds music scene for 15 years before moving to York where he currently resides. Stewart writes songs in the Folk/Pop vein and is influenced by the Folk Artists of the '60's and '70's. The Scottish Songsmith has released four Albums to date, his latest, 'Lost, Now Found',self-recorded, produced and released in June 2021. The debut single, 'Leopard' received steady A-List radio play on YO1 Radio, BBC Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio and the second single, 'Hot To Trot', features backing vocals from Rosie Doonan (Birdy/Peter Gabriel).

When not performing his own music, the multi-instrumentalist busies himself fronting his own reworking of Paul Simon's Classic Album, 'Graceland', with a seven-piece band who have played many a Theatre and Festival, including Shrewsbury, Towersey, Costa Del Folk, Moonbeams and Underneath The Stars to name but a few. Gary cites Simon as his chief musical influence and grew up learning and performing the extensive canon of songs from this legendary New York singer/songwriter. Tonight expect to hear classic tunes like 'The Boxer', 'Mrs, Robinson', Me & Julio down By The Schoolyard', 'Kodachrome', 'Graceland', 'The Obvious Child' alongside lesser-known 'deep cuts', such as 'Song For The Asking', 'Duncan' and more.
