SImon and Garfunkel Tribute

Relive the Magic of a Cool September Night

1981 THE CONCERT: A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel

On September 19, 1981, over 500,000 people gathered in New York’s Central Park for a moment that would define music history. It was the reunion of a lifetime—and while most of us weren't among the sea of faces in the Great Lawn that night, we all know the feeling of those songs.

Based right here in Michigan, 1981 THE CONCERT is a stunning, detail-oriented recreation of that legendary evening. We don’t just play the music; we invite you to step back in time.

The Experience

This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a time machine. Our upbeat 90-minute show captures the awe-inspiring atmosphere of that iconic Friday night in New York City. We’ve meticulously crafted every element to ensure that the sound, look, and "feel" of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s most famous performance is brought to life on stage.

The Setlist: Song for Song

We stay true to the legacy by performing the Central Park setlist in its exact concert order, featuring the timeless arrangements you know by heart.

Why "1981 THE CONCERT"?

  • The Harmonies: We recreate the warm, blending vocal signature that made Simon & Garfunkel global legends.

  • The Instrumentation: Experience crisp guitar work and the full power of a complete backup band, featuring a vibrant horn section to mirror the original 1981 arrangements.
