Sure, every fan of folk rock wishes that Simon and Garfunkel would set aside their differences, and reunite for at least one more tour. But the best we can get to that is by seeing them as solo artists. I saw Paul Simon about a month ago, and I personally think that the only performer that can top that show is Billy Joel. But a lot of people forget that the other half of the world’s biggest folk rock duo is also still active. Though it’s been ten years since Art Garfunkel released a studio album, he still tours small venues around the globe consistently. However, he almost lost that ability in 2010, when he was robbed of his honey voice. He claims that he’s been getting it back slowly but surely, and it sounds like he is. It’s not 100%, but Artie likes to take his voice to the limit at his shows by trying to hit some of the higher notes during Bridge Over Troubled Water.
He’s already been to Florida this year, but like his former partner, he played some shows away from Tampa. Audiences in Fort Pierce, Homestead, and Key West were given “an intimate evening” of nostalgia.
But now, he’s back in Tampa.
Art Garfunkel will play Clearwater’s historic Capitol Theatre on Saturday, January 13. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10:00 EA, and will range from $49.50 – $105. He played the same exact venue in 2014 to a sold-out crowd. Also, if you’re enough of a fan of him, Garfunkel is also embarking on a book tour to promote his new memoir, What Is It All But Luminous, and will be making a stop to talk at Miami Dade College on October 15. Vouchers are required to get in, but one is good for two people, and cost $29.91.
