Folk/Rock legend ART GARFUNKEL on his memoir

September 27, 2017 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$28.75

Harvard Book Store welcomes folk rock legend ART GARFUNKEL for a discussion of his memoir, What Is It All but Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man.  This event, taking place at First Parish Church, is co-sponsored by Harvard Square’s Club Passim.  GARFUNKEL will be joined in conversation by JARED BOWEN, WGBH’s Emmy Award-winning Executive Editor and Host for Arts.

GARFUNKEL writes about his life before, during, and after Simon & Garfunkel…about their folk-rock music in the roiling age that embraced and was defined by their path-breaking sound.  He writes about growing up in the 1940s and ’50s (son of a traveling salesman), a middle class Jewish boy, living in a red brick semi-attached house in Kew Gardens, Queens, a kid who was different—from the age of five feeling his vocal cords “vibrating with the love of sound”…

This event is ticketed.  You may purchase tickets here, and all tickets come with a presigned copy of GARFUNKEL’s memoir.

This event is co-sponsored with Club Passim.
