Memoirs: The Music of Simon and Garfunkel

Vintage Productions SA present

Aaron Nel and Shanthan Pillay in:

“Memoirs: The Music of Simon & Garfunkel”

Simon & Garfunkel emerged in the early 1960’s as a young, typically harmony-enthralled folk duo. They’d cut their teeth on The Everly Brothers, and knew the Great Traditional Songbook as well as the next folk group of their era. Driven by the same strivings of their American contemporaries – to get into a good college, to please their parents, to be admired by their peers – they were determined to have some fun along the way! As it turned out though, they were far from your average folkies. The two natives from Forest Hills, Queens, were musical sponges, and broke onto the Billboard Top50, at the age of 15 as “Tom and Jerry” – as they called themselves then – with The Everly Brothers knock off “Hey Schoolgirl” – their first song ever written together.

Their debut studio album was “Wednesday Morning, 3am”in 1964, their last “Bridge over Troubled Water”, which remained the number one album on the Billboard charts for 6 weeks after its release date.

Vintage Productions SA present Aaron Nel and Shanthan Pillay – in Memoirs. Both artists play guitar and sing, blending into unique harmony, achieved only by two musicians who have the same level of appreciation for the sheer brilliance, yet simplicity that is Simon & Garfunkel.

“Memoirs: the music of Simon & Garfunkel” feature hit song such as “Bridge over Troubled Water”, “The Boxer”, “Sound Of Silence”, “America”, and many other foot-stomping, hand clapping, sing-along hits, as well as some of the more dramatic and poetic offerings from this duo, and is sure to entertain all who attend. Energetic! Dramatic! Poetic! Visually, and especially audibly entertaining stuff!
