Art Garfunkel will perform at Stiefel Theatre (Kansas, USA) on the 8th of November.

Tickets are $45, 55 and 65.

Joanne Woodward, Robert Redford and Julia Roberts host a Celebration of Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Camps on June 8 at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York. At Joanne Woodward’s request, Art Garfunkel will perform. Also appearing: Harry Connick, Jr., Yo-Yo Ma, Jerry Seinfeld, James Taylor and the Hole in the Wall Campers.

It’s hard to believe Art Garfunkel when he says he never realized he had a voice until a few years ago.

Oh, he knew his sweet, vibrato-filled tenor could deliver an emotionally charged pop ballad better than almost anyone on the planet. In fact, he says he was just 5 when he first recognized that he possessed an extraordinary vocal gift.

Still, it would take another 55 years before Garfunkel’s true voice finally surfaced on his 2002 album, “Everything Waits to Be Noticed.” That’s because the album marked his debut as a songwriter. Читать далее »

The legendary Art Garfunkel sang, soothed, conquered. An overflowing Hilbert Circle Theatre audience of all ages enthusiastically responded to the now-familiar songs in updated settings for solo tenor (sans Paul Simon) for the iconic Simon & Garfunkel canon. For Act 1, with his combo, Garfunkel gave us “And So It Goes,” “The Boxer,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “The Promise”; with the ISO he featured “Scarborough Fair,” “El Condor Pasa” and “American Tune.” For Act 2, the usually non-schmoozing Garfunkel shared some personal insights and his delightful poetry between songs. With the ISO we cheered a gorgeous arrangement of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Garfunkel closed with “Goodnight, My Love” and “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.” With a somewhat duskier voice than what this reviewer recalled from his earlier days, but with the same easy-going demeanor, you felt the honesty of his closing remarks as he applauded the ISO players and thanked the audience: “My entire life has been enhanced by your support.” He set out to bring us hopefulness and ease in troubled times, and he succeeded. The ISO opened the evening with a melodic overview of old and beloved tunes as “Broadway Tonight.”

On March 18th, Art Garfunkel was interviewed by Bob Shannon on WCBS-FM during the noon hour (approx. 10 mins).

On April 8th, Art spoke with Lois Mae (7 min.) on WBKL-FM.

After singing the iconic “Mrs. Robinson” on Thursday night at the Overture Center, Art Garfunkel announced that he had a disclaimer for the song.

It was for the verse, “Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon / Going to the candidates debate / Laugh about it, shout about it / When you’ve got to choose / Ev’ry way you look at it, you lose.” Читать далее »

Art Garfunkel has eased into his late 60s like a philosophical marshmallow, softened around the edges by his family and full of poetic musing.

Best known as the golden-voiced partner of Paul Simon, Garfunkel has enjoyed a long singing career, supplemented by ventures into acting, poetry and cross-continental walking expeditions. His most recent album, “Some Enchanted Evening,” charts his love of old standards — Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Rogers & Hammerstein. He’ll be performing these and other songs during a solo performance at the Overture Center on Thursday, April 9.

Art Garfunkel wasn’t the only one to pick up the phone in his New York City apartment when 77 Square called for an interview on a recent Sunday morning.

At first, we could only hear the shallow breathing of the mysterious eavesdropper. Then he made his presence loudly known.

“Mommy! Mommy, somebody’s on the phone! Mommy! Somebody’s on the phone, mommy! MOMMY!” And then to the caller, in a tiny voice, “Hello?”

“It’s my little 3-year-old,” Garfunkel said with a patient sigh, before heading downstairs to get his son Beau off the phone.

Art Garfunkel: There was a silver lining in that interruption: his adorability. It’s religious, this adoring business. I adore that little guy. At my advanced age, I’m in love with the baby experience. I write poems about him. I just wrote one just yesterday, and it went right through me. Читать далее »

In the same episode of “Flight of the Conchords” TV show where Art Garfunkel appears Jemaine and Bret pretend to be Simon and Garfunkel

Wait, was that really the Art Garfunkel on the March 1 episode of HBO’s Flight of the Conchords (Sundays at 10 pm/ET)? Yes! Conchords‘ Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie wrote the episode, titled “Prime Minister,” around him, and then prayed he’d say yes to a cameo. Garfunkel says he took “a leap a faith” and signed on without seeing a script.

In the episode, Jemaine and Bret book a gig as Simon and Garfunkel lookalikes, where they meet Karen (guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub, 24’s Chloe), a woman who asks Jemaine on a date. The catch: He has to wear his Garfunkel costume, even when they have sex — she calls it “Garfunkling.” We talked to its namesake about being immortalized by such weird comic geniuses, his recent reunion with Paul Simon and his quest for the perfect Simon and Garfunkel cover song.

Entering the lower reaches of the chart initially, the song, written by British composer Mike Batt for animated rabbit fantasy film Watership Down, eventually reached number one on 14 April. Читать далее »
