His beautifully crafted material showcase his distinctive, intricate fingerstyle guitar work, and his gently nuanced, compelling tenor vocals.There are very few artists who manage to create a sound on an acoustic guitar which is distinctive, instantly recognisable. Simon’s complex finger-picking style, which draws from the disparate genres of classical, celtic and blues (amongst others) confirms he is certainly one such artist, his subtle style providing the perfect accompaniment for his rich, powerful and compelling tenor vocals.
Simon has performed across the world in 38 countries and counting. Having toured for more than a decade internationally, he has countless experience of major festivals, television and radio appearances whilst his acclaimed life performances are intense, impassioned and unmissable.

Opening for Simon: Jesse Waldman - A staple of the East Van music scene, Jesse Waldman’s bluesy, roots-driven sound reflects his deep connection to the city and its diverse culture. His songs tell stories of the streets, people, and places that define Vancouver’s creative heart. Each element plays a part in how he articulates something profound and universal, enigmatic and joyful. His songs often take flight after quiet, introspective nights and curiosity-filled days; every song bears the signature of a songwriter exceptionally unafraid to wear their heart on their sleeve. As an accomplished and intuitive lead guitarist, Jesse delights his audiences with his refined, effortless technique, wide range of styles, and dynamic improvisations.
