A nostalgic show inducing the true sound and spirit of the famous duo in impeccable vocal harmony, The Music of Simon & Garfunkel,performed by Swearingen & Kelli, is currently running through April 9th at the Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown on Main Street in Hendersonville.

Whether you wish to go to Scarborough Fair or find a Bridge Over Troubled Water, this tribute concert will surely evoke the iconic talents of both artists, including Paul Simon's intricate guitar playing and Art Garfunkel's heavenly vocal "highs". Featuring AJ Swearingen & Jayne Kelli, The Music of Simon & Garfunkel will reimagine 60's hits such as "Mrs. Robinson", "The Boxer", "America", "Cecilia", "Sounds of Silence", "Only Living Boy in New York", and "We Got A Groove Thing". Kelli, known for her soaring and effortless soprano delivery, and Swearingen, recognized for his incredible dexterity with Simon's well-ensconced guitar riffs, are on a mission to share this iconic music to new audiences around the country. Outside of performing, they have also been writing music together since 2010, with the release of their first self-titled album in 2013, and that of their sophomore album set for the spring of this year.

Inspired by great singer-songwriter's of the past like Paul Simon, James Taylor, Carole King, Jim Croce and The Eagles, Swearingen & Kelli have been performing this music for decades and paying tribute to the cultural treasure and talent that was and still is Simon & Garfunkel. With one of the most talented duos of today playing the music of one of THE most famous duos of yesterday, it's safe to say that hearing I Am A Rock at Flat Rock Playhouse will be an experience like no other.

The Music of Simon & Garfunkel will run March 30th through April 9th at The Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown.
