Gary Stewart’s Graceland

Scottish singer/songwriter Gary Stewart and his versatile six-piece band have been delighting audiences with their faithful rendition of Paul Simon's classic album Graceland. Originally formed in 2015 for a performance at Underneath the Stars Festival, Gary and his band have steadily performed at venues and festivals across the U.K and beyond, including a sell-out performance at York Barbican in December 2024.

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of Graceland and the York-based troubadour and fellow musicians are gearing up for a busy year commemorating the milestone, delighting audiences old and new with the South African rhythms, melodies and harmonies that made the album a classic.

Gary Stewart & his band recreate not just the sound of Paul Simon's Graceland album but also the energy and soul that make the original recording such a joy to listen to. "An ambitious and wonderful feat to achieve in a live performance." — Joe Rusby, Underneath the Stars Festival
