"We knew the first time we heard a Simon and Garfunkel song that we had an almost spiritual connection to it," said Jock Guthrie. "Our voices blended effortlessly into that S&G Signature Sound, and since our first performance we have worked to perfect our tribute to these two amazing artists."

Brothers Jed and Jock Guthrie have been playing and performing together since childhood in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Their original music received national attention with the release of their debut album, The Guthrie Brothers, garnering extensive airplay on both Americana and country radio stations. The album was re-released last year and can be heard on all the major digital music distribution systems including iTunes, Rhapsody, and Napster.
