Garfunkel & Garfunkel release first-ever collaborative album Father And Son today

Art Garfunkel Jr. was born in Manhattan in 1990, the first child of Kathryn and Art Garfunkel. Spending most of his childhood and youth in the United States, he often accompanied his father on tour, even as a child. After moving to Berlin as a teenager, he began tracing his grandparents’ German roots and developed a love for German pop music. Touring extensively with his father in 2018 and 2019, he subsequently released his German-language solo debut “Wie Du” (2021) which became a sensational Top-10 success in Germany and remained in the Top-100 for nearly 30 weeks in 2022. In the following year, his sophomore album “Evergreen” reached the Top-15, seeing Art Garfunkel Jr. follow in his father’s footsteps while also carving his own path.
 
Easily regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of pop music, Art Garfunkel boasts eight Grammy wins, thirteen nominations and countless gold/platinum awards, all of which paved the way for his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He launched his career in 1957 as one-half of the famed US folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, which he founded together with songwriter Paul Simon. Global hit singles such as “Sound of Silence”, “Scarborough Fair”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “The Boxer” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water” have since become part of the canon of Western Pop History. After the duo split up in 1970, Garfunkel not only landed massive solo hits (e.g. “Bright Eyes”), but also acted in various Hollywood films. Having shared stages with Paul Simon occasionally over the last decades (their 1981 Central Park performance in front of a 500k+ audience comes to mind), he’s recently been performing with his son, Art Garfunkel Jr. With this latest chapter, Garfunkel & Garfunkel celebrate their unique connection.
