LD202 Two Great Singer-Songwriters: Paul Simon and Van Morrison

About this event

Instructor: John Mitchell
Course open to non-members, see registration details below.

Though raised thousands of miles apart (Paul Simon in New Jersey and Van Morrison in Belfast), both musicians discovered their calling at an early age. Paul was shaped by the doo-wop harmonies of New York’s streets, while Van absorbed the American R&B and jazz albums in his father’s collection. Their music is strikingly different: Paul’s is meticulous and structured; Van’s is pure raw emotion. Yet both conquered the music charts with their unique songs. In this series, we’ll explore their careers and listen to highlights from their extraordinary catalogues.
