“THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY” – Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall – Sarasota
Activity Level: 2.
Nostalgia-inducing unforgettable hits! This immersive concert-style tribute show recreates the magic and authenticity of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel on stage and chronicles the amazing journey shared by the iconic, GRAMMY®-award winning folk-rock duo. It tells the story from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the ‘60s and to their dramatic split in 1970. The Simon & Garfunkel Story culminates with the pair’s famous “The Concert in Central Park” reunion in 1981, which had more than half a million fans in attendance.
The show features a set list of nearly 30 songs and uses state-of-the-art video projection, photos and original film footage. A full live band will perform all the hits including Mrs. Robinson, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound and many more - complete with the unmistakably perfect harmonies that will transport audiences down memory lane.
