Showtime is 7:30 pm and concert details can be found at https://www.birchmere.comShow highlights =&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VPPsCUda1pg?feature=share" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VPPsCUda1pg?feature=share</a>
&nbsp;One of popular music’s most successful partnerships, Simon &amp; Garfunkel’s music captured the emotions of the 1960s like no other artist. Paul Simon's intelligent, incisive and sometimes playful lyrics were wrapped in hauntingly beautiful melodies graced by Art Garfunkel’s angelic harmonies. The effect went straight to the listener's heart and left you with plenty to think on as you hummed along to Simons catchy hooks
Simon &amp; Garfunkel’s 1966 smash hits Sounds of Silence, Homeward Bound and I Am a Rock were cornerstones of the emerging “folk -rock” sound. Their popularity soared, as did their artistic vision, when their songs including Mrs. Robinson and Scarborough Fair were featured prominently in the soundtrack to The Graduate. 1970’s Bridge Over Troubled Water album featuring The Boxer, Cecelia and The Only Living Boy in New York saw them sweeping the Grammy Awards and cementing their place in music history.
Kipyn Martin &amp; Heather Lloyd are two of the finest singers and most popular performers in the regional folk scene. Tom Lofgren has toured the world as a cornerstone of most of brother Nils bands, and Mark Lofgren has been wowing audiences singing Nils parts with Grin Again. Drummer Tom Fridrich and bassist Ronnie Newmyer are the rhythm section to round out the band.
Newmyer Flyer is the second production company from BandHouse Gigs co-founder Ronnie Newmyer. Previous shows include; Time Loves A Hero; Tribute to Little Feat, The Last Waltz Tribute, Laurel Canyon, The Best of Janis Joplin &amp; Jimi Hendrix &amp; many more.
