Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel has made an indelible mark on music as a solo artist and as half of the unrivaled duo, Simon and Garfunkel. Garfunkel was originally revered for his Grammy-winning, chart-topping songs and albums with Paul Simon. Their greatest hits collection, which includes “Mrs. Robinson,” “Scarborough Fair,” “The Sound Of Silence,” “The Boxer” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” among others, is the biggest selling album ever by a duo. He has also enjoyed a successful film career, published a book of poetry and released 12 solo albums, which include six top-40 hits with one in the top ten and five Adult Contemporary number ones.

Experience an evening with Art Garfunkel and the concert tour supporting his new 2012 release, The Singer—a 34-song hand-picked collection spanning his remarkable life’s work. Enjoy the intimacy of the North Shore Center with Garfunkel and his trio as they perform Simon & Garfunkel classics and material from some of the 20th century’s greatest songwriters, including Rodgers & Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, Antonio Carlos Jobim and George Gershwin.

“This folk-pop crooner from Queens still exudes the high-strung sensitivity of an earnest, poetry-scribbling college student. His signature look, and his breathy crooning still conveys the ingenious romanticism of a folk-pop choirboy.“
