The masterful Guthrie Brothers will perform a wide range of Simon & Garfunkel’s wonderful hits like “Scarborough Fair,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Mrs. Robinson.”
This duet has played all over the United States, recreating the music made famous by America’s most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel first met in Queens, and once they started blending their talents—and their harmonies—their career took off. Who can forget “The Sound of Silence”?
Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Guthrie Brothers—Jeb and Jock—have been making music together since they were very young and in a variety of different styles, from the psychedelic to heavy metal.
As the brothers put it, “We knew the first time we played a Simon and Garfunkel song that our voices blended effortlessly into that S & G signature sound—and the overwhelming audience reaction to our performances confirmed our feelings.”
They promise to delve deep into the S & G songbook in order to bring “Homeward Bound,” “A Hazy Shade of Winter” and even “The Boxer” and “Cecilia” to life.
