Coming in at 33 minutes long, Seven Psalms is a suite of songs that also feature guest vocals from Voces8, an a capella eight-piece from London, and Simon’s wife Edie Brickell, the Texan singer-songwriter. Brickell will also join the live tour, which features a performance of Seven Psalms in its entirety, followed by a selection of Simon’s hits and songs he rarely plays live.
The intimate Pitchblack Playback event will take place the night before Simon’s gig in each of the three cities and will be followed by a mini exhibition of the artist’s previous UK performances.
