A familiar name with an original sound, Simon Townshend is straight from the lineage of one of British music's most famous families. The son of England's top big-band reed man and baby brother of The Who legend Pete Townshend, Simon has been recording and performing since the age of nine, when he sang on Tommy.
A singer and guitarist with The Who for 15 years, Simon is currently working with Roger Daltrey on the live show of Tommy. On this tour, Simon will be performing his brand new album Looking Out, Looking In plus some Who and Casbah Club classics. In addition to his own music, Simon has produced artists both in London and New York. He has performed with numerous established acts ranging from Jeff Beck to Pearl Jam, and including elder brother Pete Townshend, with notable song writing and vocal contributions to Iron Man and Psychoderelict. Other credits include 15 years as guitarist and vocalist in The Who, playing sold out tours of Europe, Asia and North America, and a monumental performance at the 2010 Super Bowl.
