Harper Simon
Tuesday
The son of Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Famer and Kennedy Center Honors recipient Paul Simon, Harper Simon, who performs Tuesday at the Hi-Tone Café, has been a subject in his dad's songs ("St. Judy's Comet," "Graceland") for years. Now the former Menlo Park band member has struck out on his own with the release of his eponymous debut album, featuring a cast of legendary studio sidemen including Memphis players Mike Leech on bass and Gene Chrisman on drums. Local roots singer-songwriter Jessica Jones opens.
