1st Monday - Jam-a-Theme - at Queen Bee's SIMON & GARFUNKEL
Details
🎵 1st Mon Jam-A-Theme we celebrate Simon & Garfunkel ! 🎶The duo started in the mid-1950's as folk-rock duo Tom and Jerry (of all names). Their big break came in 1964 with the electric version of The Sounds of Silence. Their fame then soared with contributions to the film The Graduate in 1967 and then even more when they won 6 Grammy Awards for their 1970 final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. They split in 1970 with Paul Simon pursuing a super successful solo career and Art Garfunkel going into acting. They got together for a massive 1981 Central Park reunion concert, and in 1990 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame having sold over 100 million records. The duo remains one of the most successful folk-rock duos of the 1960s and one of the all time most popular recording duos.
The second half, of this ALL INSTRUMENTS JAM, as always, will be musicians' choice, from a large SongBookPro collection of songs from all decades, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's. There's something for everyone's taste. AND we LOVE it if you stretch your wings and join us at a mic to lead or help lead. It's FUN!
