Simon & Garfunkel Tribute meets Classic

With songs like "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water," the American duo Simon & Garfunkel created poetic anthems for an entire generation and made their mark in music history with "The Boxer." For several years now, the duo Graceland has been intensely exploring the musical spirit of their predecessors with "A Tribute to Simon and Garfunkel." Always with the necessary respect for the great compositions and the aim of providing high-quality musical interpretations of Simon & Garfunkel's world hits. What is particularly important to the two musicians from Bretten is: "We don’t want to be a copy, neither visually nor vocally. We always stay close to the original, but we also give the compositions our own touch." And so, Thomas Wacker (Paul Simon) and Thorsten Gary (Art Garfunkel) impressively demonstrate with their current project "Simon & Garfunkel Tribute meets Classic": The classics of the world's most successful folk-rock duo harmonize perfectly with the sound of a string ensemble. Especially the interplay of the two voices and two guitars with the classical instruments transforms the songs of Simon & Garfunkel into an extraordinary musical experience. The number of concert attendees speaks for itself: For years, the two musicians have been successfully touring Europe. Sometimes as a duo, sometimes with a classical string quartet, and a few times a year even with a 52-piece orchestra. At their concerts, they traverse the emotional songs and "rock" their audience in other moments. An evening with Graceland is therefore not just for nostalgics who enjoy pulling their old records or CDs from the shelf. The timelessly good music of Simon & Garfunkel, interpreted by excellent musicians with their own unique sound, appeals to music lovers of all ages.
