A uniquely entertaining music and multimedia event chronicles the extraordinary career of Simon & Garfunkel. Anchored by Rex Fowler, co-founder of the renowned folk/rock duo Aztec Two-Step, and his wife Dodie Pettit, an original cast member of Broadway's greatest success story, Phantom of the Opera, with singer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Roues. The show's story-line was originally created by Pete Fornatale, the late great pioneer of progressive FM radio and Simon & Garfunkel biographer. Now narrating, emceeing and manning the scintillating multimedia show is WCWP radio host Tony Traguardo, Fornatale's dear friend and protege, and co-founder of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Nostalgia and laughter abounds, and a sing a-long is always in the mix.
