Experience an eargasm at the ultimate Simon & Garfunkel celebration

Remember the Good Ol’ Days?

Who could forget the era when Simon & Garfunkel were the soundtrack of our schoolyard afternoons? If your parents grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s, they probably still have those dusty cassette tapes (yes, remember them?) clutched in their hands. Tracks like “Sound of Silence”, “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, and “Mrs. Robinson” would have waltzed through every living room.

Why They Were the Audly‑Impossible Duo

Harmonies that sounded like angels on a guitar tour
Musical versatility, from pop to rock to country to gospel – they did it all
Poetic, heartfelt lyrics that hit right at the heart of anyone feeling lonely or weary

Get Ready for the Revival!

After a spectacular Singapore run in 2017, The Simon & Garfunkel Story is back in our neighborhood for a single night of pure nostalgia. Mark your calendars for August 5th and 6th at 8 p.m.
venue: Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands.

This isn’t a musical; it’s a live tribute concert. Picture: classic songs, epic video projections, photos, and original film footage, all while supported by three talented musicians keeping the vibes alive.

Meet the Players Who Make It All Happen

Adam Dickinson (27) – The man channeling Paul Simon; he’s not just a look‑alike, he brings the same passionate delivery.
Cameron Potts (31) – The one embodying Art Garfunkel; folks say he nails the voice and the vibe.

Both have earned rave reviews for capturing the essence of the duo and presenting it with genuine emotion.

One Last Chance, Folks

Don’t miss out on this rare trip down memory lane. Grab your tickets and cozy up for a night that blends the magic of the classics with a touch of modern flair. These shows are two nights only, so act fast!

When it comes to musical biopics, do you place emphasis on looking and sounding like the artists, or is it more effective to give your own interpretation of the characters and capture the essence of their stories?

Recreating the Timeless Magic of Simon & Garfunkel

Cluster‑The‑Frog’s Take: Wanting to Be (Almost) The Whole Crew

Adam understands that stepping on stage isn’t about becoming the original artists—it’s about bringing a slice of ourselves into the mix. He says:

“We’re not trying to steal their shtick, we’re just borrowing their vibe.”
“The tricks of the trade are vocal and physical nuances that make the audience drop their lids and feel like the music’s actually happening.”
“Any more effort than that would just be a waste of time.”

Cameron’s One‑Hand‑High‑Five Approach

Cameron keeps it real: he isn’t Art Garfunkel, but he can pull off a decent vocal impression. His secret weapon? Don’t be shy about admitting you’re not the original.

“In practice, we listen to each other, lace our voices together, and then try to nail that iconic tremolo of ‘The Sound of Silence.’”
“When it comes to the stage, I give the crowd what they want—someone who can sing like Art, but also let his own voice shine.”
“I’m not even remotely a look‑alike, so I add a splash of height with heeled boots and let a perm hair trick up a bit. Fig‑ger’s out!”

How We Prepare for the Spotlight

Each rehearsal is a mini‑workshop on authenticity. We use tiny tweaks to our accents, breathing, and slide‑pitches to replicate the classics while still sticking to our own style.

Fire up a playlist and clip each other’s vocal lines, lining them up like a musical puzzle.
Tap out the heartbeat of a harmony fraught with subtlety—no strobe lights, just pure sound.
Finish with a quick love‑letter: a snap to record a single minute where we “dumb it down” and add our own voice.

Takeaway for All Aspiring Voices

If you’re on the quest to drop a performance that feels almond‑rich and fresh, remember:

Bring who you are to the stage, but borrow the essence of the greats.
Turn foundations into an original act without losing the charm of the classic.
And when the mic hits you, just be honest, quiet, and let the music carry the crowd quietly back home.

That, my friends, is the sweet spot where nostalgia meets originality—that’s the key to a show that will leave everyone talking for ages.

What’s the most memorable feedback you’ve received about the show so far?

An Unexpected Reunion in Music

During the recent signing event, a woman in her mid‑50s and her dad made an emotional appearance that reminded us all why songs hold a special place in our souls.

The Mother‑Son Story

Dad’s situation: He was battling severe Alzheimer’s and could barely remember his daughter’s name.
Mom’s reaction: Tears of joy streamed down her face as she watched her dad hum along.
If you ask about the music: He could sing almost every lyric from “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “The Boxer.”

Why This Matters

Music as a memory catalyst: The case is a powerful testament to how music can open doors, even when the mind feels locked. It’s more than a tune – it’s a connection, a bridge across time.

Glenn’s Take on the Classics

The timeless appeal of Simon & Garfunkel: Their folk‑rock gems have become the soundtrack for countless lives. The legendary duo’s harmonies still resonate, turning guitar strings into golden memories.

The allure for couples: Many have found romance while listening to these tracks. It’s less about the chords and more about the feelings they spark.

Takeaway

In a world full of fast‑paced entertainment, these stories remind us that music can be the anchor that keeps our deeper emotions intact. Let’s cherish every melody that lets us rewind to our younger selves, or, as in this case, help reconnect a father’s fading memory.

Cameron, you came across the album Bridge Over Trouble Water among your dad’s record collection, and played it repeatedly. How and why did that album, in particular, affect you as a teenager?

Dad, Music, and Memories

That First Song

When my dad handed me that tiny CD, I felt like I’d just stumbled into the coolest secret club. His grin was so wide it almost made me think he’d finally found a new way to justify his collection.

Instant Synchronicity

We both laughed, bobbed our heads, and then promptly invented a new dance step for when the bass dropped. The moment he heard my reaction—pure, unfiltered excitement—he was so thrilled it was almost as if he’d discovered a new planet.

The Bond That Remains

It wasn’t just about the music; it was about sharing a heartbeat that matched the beat of the songs. That shared love of every riff and lyric turned our simple Sunday jam into a lifelong friendship ritual.

Why This Still Rocks

Forever Fanfare: The excitement we swapped back then echoes every time I pick up a new track.
Echoes of Laughter: We’ve turned countless playlists into laughter-filled afternoons.
Family Harmony: The song became a bridge, not just a track, between our worlds.

So here’s to the boy who introduced me to music and the dad who turned that introduction into a lifelong grin. And to all of us who find the right song to spark our own memories.

Adam, where does Simon & Garfunkel figure in your musical experience? Did you encounter their music growing up?

Adam’s Musical Surprise

Professor Adam: Before my dream gig, I was practically a Paul Simon walking encyclopedia—few knew the Graceland album was a thing—but I never did a proper deep‑dive into Simon & Garfunkel. That is, until someone waved a setlist around my desk like a magic card.

Picture this: I’m standing there with my coffee, feeling confident, thinking “I’ve got these tracks in the back pocket.” Then the producer hands me the full list, and I realize my musical repertoire is about five or six songs worth shining on the stage.

It’s All Paul’s Gift

Graceland vibes—yes I could keep a beat there.
“Mrs. Robinson” takes you through the 60s.
A few obscure tracks that only I am now giddy about.
And an old‑school lullaby my grandma humming by the radio.

Because back when I was 23, stepping into that role felt like the universe tapping on the door and saying, “Here’s the chance, bro.” And thanks to Paul Simon’s genius, I’ve got an arsenal that even the most enthusiastic Beatles fan will nod along to.

Key Takeaway

Remember the moment you think you’re a total music maestro, only to discover there’s a whole playlist you never heard. That’s the sweet spot of musical humility—and it worked its magic for Adam.

What’s your favourite number to perform?

Cameron & Adam’s Show‑Day Secrets

Ever wonder what sparks the real party in a live performance? Both Cameron and Adam spill the beans on their favorite moments that keep the crowd buzzing.

Cameron’s Crowd‑Pumping Moment

When Cameron says he loves pulling the audience into “Cecelia”, he’s not just talking about the music—he’s about the feeling of the room suddenly coming alive.

“It’s a blast!” – Cameron shares the joy of letting the audience rap along.
It’s the moment after the stage lights dim, everything clicks, and the party really begins.

Adam’s Pick‑Off Song Choices

Adam’s two go‑to songs are the perfect prelude or grand finale for a rock‑inspired set.

Bridge Over Troubled Water – The perfect escape for a quick backstage break, giving Adam a minute to watch Cameron slay the track every night.
The Boxer – A powerful finish off the show that sends the crowd into a “crazy” frenzy.

The big picture: Audience involvement and iconic songs are the lifeblood of their live shows. During those moments, the vibe shifts from performers to a shared celebration.

To relax, what would you prefer listening to: your favourite playlist, ASMR videos or, ahem, the sound of silence?

Chats About the Sweet Sound of Music

Two Friends, Very Different Vibes

Picture this: Cameron’s smiling ear‑bud face while Adam is all Zen.

Cameron’s Battle‑Cry: “Haha, brilliant! I live for female singer‑songwriters – Yvonne Lyon, Miriam Jones, you name it.”
Adam’s Mellow Moment: “Honestly, the real silence is my soundtrack. I’m somewhere quiet, no noise, just pure relaxation.”

So, while Cameron is tap‑drumming her next favorite hit, Adam is probably meditating to the hush of an empty room.
