Speakeasy is behind the scenes at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary show tonight. (Read our earlier interview with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame CEO Joel Peresman.) We’re camped backstage, with the rest of the press, at Madison Square Garden, and will reporting back on all the acts as they go on stage. Follow us throughout the night for updates!
6:45 p.m. — Tom Hanks takes the mic in the press room and addresses what he calls the most jaded group of writers in New York right now. He oh-so-eloquently calls the night’s line-up — which consists of Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, and Crosby, Stills and Nash, plus many, many others — “the music of our generation, the soundtrack of our lives.” He adds that he’s not a massive music aficionado. “I did it for the all access pass,” he says. “I don’t know what to say to half these guys other than wow. I’m lucky to be here.” Читать далее »

Paul Simon, the 12-time Grammy Award winner, will headline the 17th annual Heart & Soul Gala this fall at Norwalk Hospital.The gala features an acoustic performance by Simon, the Hospital announced Wednesday. The event is slated for Oct. 3 and is being organized by the Norwalk Hospital Foundation, a non-profit organization.
Simon, a New Canaan resident, last made local headlines in 2004, when he hosted a fundraiser at his home for Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. That event included other celebrities, including “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels and actors Richard Gere and Chevy Chase. It raised an estimated $1 million for Kerry and his campaign.
Paul’s mother, Belle Simon, lived in Stamford for years prior to her death in 2007. She was 97.
“We are honored and thrilled to have Paul Simon perform at this year’s gala, sharing with us his time and talent,” said Mary Franco, president of the Norwalk Hospital Foundation and vice president of public affairs.
For more information about the 2009 Heart and Soul Gala, call the Norwalk Hospital Foundation at (203) 852-2959 or go to http://norwalkhospitalfoundation.org.

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.”

If Bob Costas ever tires of his work as a sportscaster, he might want to give concert promotion a try. The top stars of music and comedy all seem to be in his Rolodex, and for more than 20 years, they’ve turned out when called upon — at least when it comes to playing a benefit for the Bob Costas Cancer Center at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.Introducing this year’s headliner at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, Costas noted that Paul Simon isn’t just a great entertainer, but a man who’d provided the soundtrack for his life.
