Simon & Garfunkel Tribute meets Classic
May 10, 2026
Bitburg
With songs like "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water," the American duo Simon & Garfunkel created poetic anthems for an entire generation and entered music history with "The Boxer" at the latest. In recent years, the duo Graceland has been intensely exploring the musical spirit of their predecessors with "A Tribute to Simon and Garfunkel." Always with the necessary respect for the great compositions and the intention of providing high-quality musical interpretations of Simon & Garfunkel's hits. What is particularly important to the two musicians from Bretten is:
“We don't want to be a copy, neither visually nor vocally. We always stay close to the original but give the compositions our own touch.” And so, Thomas Wacker (Paul Simon) and Thorsten Gary (Art Garfunkel) impressively prove with their current project “Simon & Garfunkel Tribute meets Classic”: The classics of the world’s most successful folk-rock duo harmonize perfectly with the sound of a string ensemble, drums, and bass. Especially the interplay of the two voices and two guitars with the classical instruments turns the songs of Simon & Garfunkel into an extraordinary musical experience. Additionally, the bass and drums provide the right “drive” in the faster pieces.
The number of concert-goers speaks for itself: The two musicians have been successfully touring Europe for years. Sometimes as a duo, sometimes with a classical string quartet, and a few times a year even with a 52-piece orchestra. At their concerts, they traverse the emotional songs and "rock" their audience in other places. Therefore, an evening with Graceland is not just for nostalgics who love to pull their old records or CDs off the shelf. The timelessly good music of Simon & Garfunkel, interpreted by excellent musicians with their own sound, appeals to music lovers of all ages.
