Live in Central Park [Revisited]: Simon & Garfunkel

September 12, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

September 19, 1981

In 1981, more than 500,000 music fans gathered in Central Park to witness the now legendary reunion of folk duo Simon & Garfunkel. Award-winning recording artists, Lee Lessack and Johnny Rodgers recreate that magical night. With dulcet vocals harmonizing over lilting guitar, you’ll hear all the beloved poetic masterpieces that made Simon & Garfunkel famous: “Mrs. Robinson,” “Homeward Bound,” “Scarborough Fair,” “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” “The Sound of Silence,” and many more.

LEE LESSACK’s graceful lyric baritone vocals and sophisticated yet endearing persona have made him a shining star of the international concert scene. Billboard Magazine calls his singing, “Cabaret romanticism of a high order.”  Touring extensively in the United States and Europe to sold-out performances and releasing five albums, Lessack has proven himself both as performer and recording artist.

JOHNNY RODGERS is an internationally-celebrated singer-songwriter, pianist, Broadway star, and recording artist who is described by Stephen Holden, from The New York Times, as an entertainer “that can’t be found anywhere else” with “fused elements of Billy Joel, Peter Allen and Johnny Mercer.” Johnny dazzles audiences with his enthusiastic mélange of Americana using his original songs like “Home To Mendocino”, “One More Moment”, and the tribute ballad “The Best Of You In Me” and favorites made popular by the likes of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Bill Withers, and Elvis. Johnny won the Billboard and The Great American Song contests and the ASCAP Foundation Award for his songwriting.

Presented by Weber Center for the Performing Arts.
