Clavius Productions is extremely proud to present the first DC show since the '90s for Omaha singer-songwriter Simon Joyner. Perhaps known to most as an influence on Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst -- who can only pretend to be a fraction as talented and effective a lyricist and singer -- Joyner's been kicking around since the early '90s with close to a dozen releases on labels such as Jagjaguwar, Secretly Canadian and Team Love. Placing him amongst such hallowed company as Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Jackson C. Frank wouldn't be spurious. Come to the new venue Paper Sun in Columbia Heights for a special intimate performance:
Sunday, May 23
Paper Sun
Monroe St., alley between 11th and 13th
$10, all ages
Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm!

Simon Joynerhttp://www.simonjoyner.net/Simon Joyner (born 1971) is a singer-songwriter from Omaha, Nebraska. Considered by some to be the forefather of the burgeoning Omaha music scene, he has profoundly influenced the music of Bright Eyes. Joyner also collaborated with John Darnielle, of The Mountain Goats, and Beck listed Joyner in his top 10 albums when asked by Rolling Stone. He is also famous for the so-called "Peel Incident," when famous British DJ John Peel played his album The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll from beginning to end on air. Simon is named after Paul Simon. Simon lives in Omaha with his wife and three children.
