March 11, 2023 - 6:30pm-8:30pm This show is a tribute to the world's most successful music duo of all time, Simon & Garfunkel. Hear all of their greatest hits as we begin with an acoustic duo recounting their early works of the 1960's and then bring in a four-piece band to dive into their catalogue. Sing along to Mrs. Robinson, Sound of Silence, Homeward Bound, Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Boxer, and more. We'll also perform some tunes from Paul Simon's solo career including Kadachrome, Loves Me Like a Rock, and Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard. You'll hear stories behind some of their songs and their tumultuous 60 year relationship. Now both retired from touring, you'll never see Simon & Garfunkel perform live again but you can hear their music live at the beautifully renovated Polly Klaas Community Theater. There will be a cash bar to benefit the Polly Klass Theater. More about the band at feelinggroovymusic.com.
