Art Garfunkel Tickets

He sang, he recited poetry and told stories. A great evening from a history standpoint. And he can still sing, though the high notes were a little rough. He still had power in the middle range though. And the guitar was phenomal!

he is who he is...and he shared it with a grateful audience. Story teller, poet, performer,Art Gunfunkel has done it all, with a charm and honesty that left you wishing you had more time with him. Accompanied by a gifted guitarist, the two professionally but caually entertained with an ease only displayed by seasoned and talented individuals. They make it look easy. It was a pleasure to listen to it all.

I read his review from the previous night's performance (in Regina) and there was criticism that his voice wasn't up to par and some people weren't happy with all the poetry. My experience was different. If his voice was a bit shaky at times - good for him, it added authenticity. With many performers using heavy drumming, loud music, electronic enhancement and distractions like pyro and confetti bombing, it was nice to be able to just listen to quiet pleasant singing, accompanied by a single talented guitarist. I also liked all the rules the event staff were heard outlining repeatedly throughout the theatre - no cameras, cell phones to be shut off, early concession closure, entry and re-entry to theatre only between songs or when there was clapping. The best part - NOBODY STANDING IN FRONT OF ME, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW.

Garfunkel was lyrical in his prose and refreshingly pure in his tone. Although not as powerful as in the past his tone and pitch were beautiful to listen to. I was surprised with his prose or stories of introduction between pieces. Brilliant and thoughtful - a very talented songwriter. So glad to have seen and heard him.

If I had known at the time of booking that Garfunkel had lost his singing voice and not really have gotten it back, I would have bought some of his music online instead.

Even though his voice isn't as fabulous as it once was, it is still beautiful and he is well aware of his weaknesses. Art Garfunkel presented himself as a real human being -- through his poetry, his chit chat, and his music. He has an amazing guitarist from Nashville accompanying him. It was a really great hour-and-a-half show. I'd see it again!
