Singer Art Garfunkel is embarking on a worldwide tour, starting with a February 14 stop in S. Korea (Jamsil Indoor Gym) and winding down with a September 24 date in Scotland (Usher Hall).
Garfunkel’s two-man show (he teams up with guitarist Tab Lavern) contains tunes from Simon and Garfunkel, as well as covers of some of his favorite songwriters (A.C. Jobim, Jimmy Webb, and Randy Newman). “My work centers around a 90-minute show,” said Garfunkel in a Forbes.com interview. “I sing 18 songs and serve up 10 readings, my prose poems. I’m into it. I wrote about my life in show business, my woman, crossing the U.S. and Europe on foot, they mystery of it all. I feel, from sentence to sentence, I’m holding them.”
