Simon Townshend - Sweet Sound, the other Townshend...


Simon Townshend.  Two years ago when Roger Daltrey was on a solo tour doing mostly who songs, he had Simon with him for the guitar work.

I hear those were some great shows.  He has released several solo albums, the first being Sweet Sound (1983), followed by Moving Target (1985). In September 1997, Rising Records released a remixed, re-sequenced Among Us (Rising RR10105). The American re-release was put out by Rising Records, a label owned by folk singer/songwriter Jonathan Edwards. Simon toured with son Ben on percussion.  Simon is married to Janie Townshend, with whom he has three children. His song "Girl in New York" was written for her.
