GRAMMY SPECIAL TO HONOR PAUL SIMON

Longtime Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich will produce Homeward Bound: A Grammy Salute to the Songs of Paul Simon, which CBS will air later this year.

Billy Porter, Rhiannon Giddens, Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, Brad Paisley, Little Big Town, Trombone Shorty and Irma Thomas are among the artists who will perform Simon’s songs in concert at the Pantages Theater on 4/6.

Ehrlich’s previous Grammy Salute specials have honored Prince, Elton John, The Beatles and others.

Simon, who retired from touring in 2018, will attend but has not yet been confirmed as a performer.
