Always love to see/hear Art Garfunkel
I've been blessed to see Simon and Garfunkel together once. This was my third time seeing Art Garfunkel, and will see Paul Simon for the third time later this month. They put on such different shows: Paul full of flash and energy, Artie more beautiful and introspective. I love them both, and the experiences are so worthwhile. (And yes, on Independent Bookstore Day, I went out and bought your book, Artie!) Thanks to both of them for continuing to share their gifts.

Bio
ART GARFUNKEL IN CONCERT:
Art Garfunkel, Grammy-winning songwriter and one-half of the inimitable folk duo Simon & Garfunkel, is fully recovered from a vocal cord injury sustained in 2010 and back on tour. Fans at the singer's 2013 shows were blissfully aware there had even been an issue, as the singer passionately wove his voice through beloved classics like "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Amid rumors of a new solo album and possible future tour with Paul Simon, Garfunkel will take the stage with more energy and excitement than ever in 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Queens, NY, Garfunkel began singing in the first grade, perfecting his technique with a wire recorder given to him by his father. After meeting Paul Simon in 6th grade, the two began performing together as Tom & Jerry, honing the close vocal harmonies that would mark their later material. Following a degree in art history from Columbia, Garfunkel once again joined forces with Simon for the duo's 1964 debut album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. The album contained "The Sound of Silence," a sleeper hit that ultimately reached No. 1, foreshadowing the success the duo would achieve with chart-topping albums like 1968's Bookends and 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water. In the ensuing decades, Garfunkel has continued to record and tour — both solo and with Simon — contributing to one of folk music's most venerable legacies.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Art Garfunkel. That's all I have to say. He has one of the most beautiful and touching voices I have ever heard. After 72 years of life, he's still got it."
" Art Garfunkel was wonderful. It was like he was sitting in my living room. He sounded wonderful and was so open with his thoughts, feelings and his view of life! Don't miss this show!"
"This is the best show I've seen in years. His voice was top-notch, and you can tell he is really on the mend. In fact, you really couldn't tell there had been any issues with his vocal cords."
