With songs like "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water", the American duo Simon & Garfunkel created poetic anthems for an entire generation and cemented their place in music history with "The Boxer".
For several years, the Duo Graceland has been intensely exploring the musical spirit of their role models with "A Tribute to Simon and Garfunkel". Always with the necessary respect for the great compositions and the ambition to offer musically high-quality interpretations of Simon & Garfunkel's world hits. The two musicians from Bretten have one thing that is particularly important to them: "We don't want to be a copy, not visually, not vocally. We always stay close to the original, but also give the compositions our own twist."
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 probably most successful folk-rock duo in the world harmonize perfectly with the sound of a string ensemble, drums, and bass. Especially the interaction of the two voices and two guitars with the classical instruments turns the songs of Simon & Garfunkel into an extraordinary musical experience. Additionally, bass and drums ensure the right "drive" in the faster pieces.
The number of concert visitors 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 navigate through emotional songs and "rock" their audience at other moments.
An evening with Graceland is not only for nostalgia lovers who like to dust off their old records or CDs. The timeless and great music of Simon & Garfunkel, interpreted by outstanding musicians with a unique sound, appeals to music lovers of all ages.
