From the heart of Wild & Co. comes Graceland—a high-energy tribute to the legendary songwriting and infectious grooves of Paul Simon. Born out of a deep artistic admiration, Graceland celebrates Simon’s rich catalog with a focus on his most danceable tracks, spanning from his Simon & Garfunkel roots to the vibrant, global rhythms of Graceland and beyond. This dynamic ensemble brings Paul’s music to life with a soulful blend of tight harmonies, layered percussion, and a vibrant horn section.

Led by John Torres (lead vocals, acoustic guitar) and joined by fellow Wild & Co. bandmates Ian Tait (bass, vocals), Rane (vocals, percussion, harmonica), and Gianni Leito (lead guitar), the band is rounded out by Andrew Klein on drums, Mike Knobloch on percussion, and a powerhouse horn duo: Eric Zeiser on trumpet and Dave Savitsky on saxophone.

Whether you’re singing along to “Mrs. Robinson” or dancing to “You Can Call Me Al,” Graceland offers a night of joy, nostalgia, and celebration—honoring one of the greatest songwriters of our time with passion and flair.
