Scottish singer-songwriter Gary Stewart and his versatile six-piece band have been delighting audiences far and wide 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 been performing shows at venues and Festivals across the UK and beyond (including a sell-out performance at York Barbican in December 2024) for almost a decade.
2026 marks the fortieth anniversary of Graceland and the York-based troubadour and fellow musicians are gearing up for a busy year commemorating the anniversary, delighting audiences old and new with the beloved South African rhythms, melodies and harmonies that made this album a universal classic.

Reviews
“Gary Stewart and his band masterfully recreated not just the sound of Paul Simon's Graceland album but also the energy and soul that makes the original recording such a huge joy to listen to. An ambitious and wonderful feat to achieve in a live performance.”
