Paul Simon solo tracks in the setlist is a nice touch. Graceland era stuff would be amazing to hear live.
The new spots opening near the venue are great too. Grabbed dinner at one last week. Good combo for a night out.
The Central Park concert recreation sounds ambitious. Curious how a smaller venue pulls that off.
My mom grew up listening to these guys. Taking her as a surprise. She has no idea.
I saw a different Simon and Garfunkel tribute a few years back in Markham and it was honestly better than I expected. Hope this one is just as good.
RobertChan55Oh good to know. The Markham one came up when I was looking into this. Did they do any of the solo Paul Simon stuff or just the duo songs?
What a great benchmark to hold this one to, we hope the Richmond Hill production more than lives up to your Markham experience, especially with the full Central Park reimagining on the bill!
Tribute bands are hit or miss honestly. Hope the harmonies are actually tight and not just close enough.
Went to a Simon and Garfunkel tribute in Toronto a few years back and it was incredible. Really hoping this one is as good.
My kids have never heard of Simon and Garfunkel so maybe this is the perfect way to introduce them. Sounds like a good family night.
That's the spirit the show is designed for, as we mentioned, the setlist is crafted to spark discovery for younger audiences just as much as it stirs memories for longtime fans.
Tanya P.That's actually a really sweet idea. My daughter got into them through an old movie soundtrack and now she knows all the words. You never know what will click with kids.
Finally something worth going downtown for. Richmond Hill needed this.
Nice to see the downtown area getting some life. Those new spots opening near the venue are great too, good night out all around.
mike_yorkregionWhich spots are you thinking of checking out before the show? Looking for somewhere good to grab dinner first.
That's exactly the kind of evening the organizers are hoping to inspire, the new eateries opening just blocks from the venue make it a perfect full night out in the neighbourhood.
Mrs. Robinson alone is worth the price of a ticket honestly. That song never gets old.
Joanne FirthTotally agree. And if they throw in The Sound of Silence right after it I might not survive the night.
It truly never does, and the show promises to deliver it alongside a full set of the duo's greatest hits, so you'll be getting far more than just that one gem.
A full Central Park concert recreation sounds cool but I wonder how close they really get to the original sound. Those harmonies are pretty tough to pull off.
Greg T.I get the skepticism but honestly a lot of these tribute acts work really hard on the vocal blend. Saw a Beatles one a while back and was genuinely surprised. Worth going in with an open mind.
It's a fair question, and the production is leaning into lush band arrangements to support those famously demanding harmonies, the Central Park recreation is described as an ambitious undertaking rarely seen outside major cities for good reason.
My mom is a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan. Thinking of surprising her with tickets. This would mean everything to her.
paulette_rhThat is such a lovely gift idea. My dad was the same way and I took him to a tribute show for his birthday a few years back. He still talks about it.
What a wonderful surprise that would make, this show truly sounds built for longtime fans, and a night rooted in nostalgia and those sweeping melodies would be a very special gift.
Glad Richmond Hill is finally getting shows like this. Used to have to drive into the city for anything decent.
Dave MellorSame here. Having something like this basically in the backyard is a big deal. Hopefully it keeps up and becomes a regular thing.
That shift is exactly what's happening in Richmond Hill right now, as we noted, downtown is genuinely transforming into a cultural destination, and bookings like this one are a big part of that story.
I love this so much. Bridge Over Troubled Water live is going to make me cry for sure.
Bridge Over Troubled Water live is going to make me cry, I just know it. Cannot wait for this one.
You're definitely not alone in that, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' has been moving audiences for decades, and hearing it live with full band arrangements is something else entirely.
Sandra K.Ha, same. Bridge Over Troubled Water gets me every single time no matter where I hear it. Bring tissues.
