The Guthrie Brothers Present Scarborough Fair: A Simon and Garfunkel Experience is on Saturday, November 6 at 7:30pm.

Jeb and Jock Guthrie pay tribute to the iconic duo with one hit after another including “Sounds of Silence,” “Homeward Bound,” “I Am a Rock,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Bridge over Troubled Water,” and so much more. And, yes, the brothers sing an engaging version of “Scarborough Fair.”

Jazz pianist Joel Zelnik is joined by bassist Brian Glassman and drummer David Cox in a program based on the dialogues between Zelnik and Evans at the Village Gate during the mid-sixties.
