SUNDAY, JUNE 5 Paul Simon – There haven’t been many classic or iconic pop stars performing at the Bowl so far this season, but they don’t come much more legendary or influential than Paul Simon. The singer-songwriter who has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a member of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist, turns 75 in the fall but shows little signs of slowing down. Simon’s new album, Stranger to Stranger, his 12th studio recording as a solo artist, just came out this week and has already been heralded as another important album in his prolific career. Expect to hear several of the new cuts plus classic Simon solo songs and a smattering of Simon & Garfunkel greatest hits when he returns to the Santa Barbara Bowl, one of the smaller venues on his 2016 world tour. WHEN: 7 pm WHERE: 1122 North Milpas St. COST: $69.50-$139.50 INFO: 962-7411 or www.sbbowl. com (photo by Mark Seliger)

Pico and Paranirvana – Artist Lewis deSoto, whose large inflatable sculpture “Paranirvana (Self-Portrait)” has been installed in Santa Barbara Museum of Art‘s historic Ludington Court, sits down, in classic talk show format, for an informal and wide-ranging conversation with noted essayist, author, and Santa Barbara writer icon Pico Iyer. “Paranirvana”, a 26-foot-long, fan-powered piece – which appears in conjunction with Puja and Piety: Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist Art from the Indian Subcontinent, an exhibit featuring 160 works – inhales (inflates) when switched on and exhales (deflates) when switched off, symbolizing the spiritual breath Prana in Hindu philosophy. Desoto placed his own face on the figure of the Buddha, in a “humorous and revealing meeting point of technology, religion, and biography”. The artist and Iyer are slated to discuss, among other topics, Buddhism, fathers and sons, and how stillness complements movement in the creative process, whatever the form. WHEN: 2:30 pm WHERE: 1130 State Street COST: $10 general, $6 seniors (free for museum members) INFO: 963-4364 or www.sbma.net
