If you're a fan of Paul Simon, it's time to grab Julio off that schoolyard and head to one of three Texas shows. The iconic singer-songwriter announced on February 5 that he is spending his summer conducting a worldwide farewell tour, and will be making three stops in the Lone Star State along the way.

Simon brings his "Homeward Bound — The Farewell Tour" to Austin's Frank Erwin Center on June 4. In addition to Austin, Simon will be making stops in Dallas on June 1 at the American Airlines Arena and Houston on June 2 at the Toyota Center.

“I’ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I'd consider bringing my performing career to a natural end," Simon said in a release. "Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief."

Famous for such songs as The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, and You Can Call Me Al, Simon first rose to prominence in the 1960s as part of the folk duo Simon & Garfunkel. After he and Art Garfunkel split ways in 1970, Simon continued a solo career, nabbing 12 Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Credited with helping shape modern American folk music, Simon has also won a Kennedy Center Honor, as well as a Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song alongside such luminaries as Willie Nelson, Carole King, Paul McCartney, and Smokey Robinson. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

"Homeward Bound — The Farewell Tour" begins on May 16 in Vancouver, Canada and ends on July 15 in London. Tickets for the Texas dates of Simon's farewell tour go on sale on February 9 at 10 am. Information on ticketing will be available here closer to the on sale date.
