‘‘Fantastic’’ – Elaine Paige, BBC Radio and “Authentic and Exciting” – The Stage

The immersive concert-style theater show chronicles the amazing journey shared by the folk-rock duo, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. It tells the story from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the ‘60’s to their dramatic split in 1970. It culminates with the famous “The Concert in Central Park” reunion in 1981 with more than half a million fans in attendance.

With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel’s perfect harmonies and songs that poignantly captured the times made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. Over the years, they 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. In 1977, their “Bridge Over Troubled Water” album was nominated at the Brit Awards for Best International Album. In 2003, Simon and Garfunkel were awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the following year saw their “The Sound of Silence” awarded a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.

Over the past three decades, composer/guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio has forged a multi-faceted career, winning acclaim in rock, classical and theatrical circles. From founding innovative rock band Phish and composing Tony-nominated Broadway musicals to genre-bending collaborations and celebrated solo work, the Texas-born musician has left an indelible mark on music and culture.

Serving as lead guitarist and vocalist for Phish, the band completed an unprecedented 13-night residency at world-renowned Madison Square Garden, bringing their total number of performances at the famed arena to 64. In his work with Phish and as a solo artist, he has collaborated with a wide array of artists, including Dave Matthews, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, B.B. King, and as part of the trio Oysterhead. The project types are as diverse as the artists themselves. Anastasio co-wrote the music for the Broadway musical Hands on a Hardbody, which received a Tony nomination for “Best Original Score” in 2013, just a few years before joining the surviving four members of the Grateful Dead for five stadium shows in celebration of the band’s 50 anniversary. Somewhere in between, he found time to perform original compositions and debut new orchestral works alongside symphonies in some of the most famous performance halls.

If you’re seeking a look inside Anastasio’s creative genius mind, simply turn to Between Me and My Mind, a film documenting his creative process, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival and played a sold-out limited run engagement in theaters across the country. All this while continuing to release solo works, like his 14th solo album, Ghosts of the Forests, which Rolling Stone said was “built around psychedelic guitar liftoffs, ambitious arrangements and extremely personal lyrics.”

The boys are back bringing their straightforward country sound to Greenville. “Bible on the Dash” was a huge hit for singer-songwriters Corb Lund and Hayes Carll. Now, they appear together in this mashup concert of their special talents. With these guys, you’ll get everything from Kris Kristofferson-style story ballads to honky-tonk road tunes and rambling gambler melodies that’ll stick in your head for days. Hear songs from their latest albums, Lund’s El Viejo, a tribute to his mentor Ian Tyson, and Carll’s funny but piercingly honest You Get It All.
