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 »

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will make their third and final tour of Japan as Simon & Garfunkel in July, and in the process become the oldest foreign artists to play at Tokyo Dome. The singer-songwriter duo are both 67 years old, and will surpass the record held by Charlie Watts, who performed at Tokyo Dome when he was 65 during a Rolling Stones tour in March 2006.

The pair announced their upcoming world tour in February, when Garfunkel made a surprise appearance at one of Simon’s shows in New York, where they sang a couple of their classic hits together, such as “The Sound of Silence” (originally titled “The Sounds of Silence”) and “The Boxer.”

Simon & Garfunkel will start their Japan tour at Nagoya Dome on July 8 and follow it with shows at Tokyo Dome on July 10 and 11, Kyocera Dome in Osaka on July 13 and finish their tour at Sapporo Dome on July 18.

The concerts will be their first in Japan since 1993 when they played two gigs drawing about 80,000 people in total. Their five concerts this July are expected to attract around 200,000 fans.

(CNN) - Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are getting their group back together this spring for a reunion tour of Asia and Australia, according to a source close to the group.

Reunion plans apparently began after Simon and Garfunkel played three songs together during Simon’s two-night gig at New York’s Beacon Theatre in February.

Tour rehearsals begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June, according to the source.

Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow, the source said.

Simon’s manager, Jeff Kramer, has asked the group’s musicians to clear their calendars — which means canceling other shows - from late May through June, the source said.

Kramer, in a statement to Rolling Stone magazine after the February show, hinted that a tour was in the works.
