The “entertaining and introspective theatrical concert based on her recent album of the same name” is co-conceived and written by McGovern and director Philip Himberg, with musical direction by Jeffrey D. Harris and production design by Clifton Taylor. The show has its roots in earlier cabaret performances under the same title; this is now an expanded theatrical evening.

A Long and Winding Road, produced in cooperation with Huntington Theatre Company, “is a tribute to the early works of Jimmy Webb, Carole King, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney and other ground-breaking singer/songwriters from the 1960s and ’70s”.

The song list includes “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, “The Circle Game”, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”, “Imagine”, “Fire and Rain” and many more.

A Long and Winding Road will play Arena Stage’s temporary home in Crystal City in Arlington, VA. Opening night is March 31 at 7:30 PM.

Check out this Sunday’s (March 1) episode of HBO’s coolest comedy, “Flight of the Conchords,” featuring a very special guest appearance by Art Garfunkel. The episode has it’s first airing at 10 pm Sunday, and it’s repeated throughout the week as well, before becoming available on demand on most cable systems.

Paul Simon confirms in a short interview the possibility of a Simon and Garfunkel tour trough Australia, Japan and New Zealand. In this interview he also said he is sure that this will be their last tour. They promised to do Australia and Japan in 2004, but could not get around.

Simon and Garfunkel are planning to tour together for the first time in five years, Art Garfunkel has said.

The singer revealed the plans five days after making a surprise appearance at a Paul Simon concert in New York where the pair performed three songs.

“Our plan to work together is coming together but it doesn’t go through England this time,” he told BBC News.

Garfunkel, 67, would not confirm if the tour would be in the US. The duo last toured together in 2003 and 2004.

Their 2003 concerts marked their first US tour in 20 years.

On Friday night, Simon and Garfunkel performed together to rapturous applause at a concert to mark the reopening the Beacon Theater after refurbishment.

Paul Simon wrote the new song Amulet for ZMF New Music for Marimba. Paul is one of the 16 composers who accepted the ZMF New Music Commission. The new song Amulet will be included at the Intermediate Masterworks for Marimba vol. 1. Although the music is finished the lyrics remain to be written.

ZMF New Music is an initiative to generate 24 intermediate level marimba solos via a Commissioning Project, and Composition Contest. All 24 pieces will be published in two volumes called Intermediate Masterworks for Marimba, and recorded on CD. This project is sponsored by Zeltsman Marimba Festival, Inc.
