In April 2014, Simon Townshend's album DENIAL, his most personal and affecting work to date, was released on his own STIR Music label. Many of the tracks on DENIAL were inspired by events surrounding his family: some joyful, some difficult, some tragic. "I couldn't help writing. It was inspirational and, for me, the best medicine is writing because it heals me."
Simon is again on the road with The Who for their "Who Hits 50" world tour. He is receiving rave reviews for his work as guitarist and vocalist just as he did during the 2012/2013 "Quadrophenia and More Tour".
When not performing with The Who, he's committed to an extensive solo touring schedule, highlighted by his successful 2014 spring US solo tour promoting DENIAL, multiple sellout shows at Joe's Pub in New York City and attaining the opening spot on Heart's 2013 Canadian "Fanatic" tour and Big Country's 2013 UK "The Journey Tour". At the invitation of both Jimmy and The Roots, Simon had a blast sitting in with the band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Sept 11, 2013.
