Simon was personally invited to by Eddie Vedder to perform at The 2017 Ohana Festival. Luckily Simon was in between US and South American Who tour dates, and after a short holiday, he made the long trip from the UK to California, as this was to be something special.
The Ohana Fest was three days, with Eddie on hand all weekend as MC and with his own headlining set Saturday. On Friday, he introduced Simon to the crowd and later joined him on stage for “She Asked Me”.
