A.J. Swearingen and Jonathan Beedle have been performing this remarkable tribute to the music of Simon & Garfunkel for more than a decade; and their sold-out shows prove the effect on their audience is undeniable.
A chance meeting in 1991, in a local club in Bethlehem, Pa., brought these two talented artists together. After only a brief introduction, they were blending their voices as if they had been performing together for a lifetime. Swearingen's warm baritone and Beedle's soaring tenor combine flawlessly to capture the essence and magic of Simon & Garfunkel's sound of the early years in Greenwich Village.
With a quiet stage and an acoustic guitar, Swearingen & Beedle recreate the memories of Simon & Garfunkel's classic hits, including: Scarborough Fair, The Boxer, The Sounds of Silence, I am a Rock, Homeward Bound, 59th Street Bridge Song, and Bridge Over Troubled Water, as well as more obscure songs such as A Most Peculiar Man, Blues Run the Game, Bleeker Street, Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall and Blessed, to name but a few.
Disover why audiences are cheering for this duo as they capture the magic in the music of Simon & Garfunkel.
