Simon & Garfunkel Tribute by Swearingen & Kelli

Swearingen & Kelli recreate the music, memories and magic of the most famous folk-rock duo of our time, Simon and Garfunkel. AJ Swearingen has been performing this music for twenty years with mastery of Paul Simon's intricate guitar playing. His deep baritone blends perfectly against Kelli's angelic vocals delivering a true tribute to the sound of the 1960's Greenwich Village, NY coffeehouse performances.

Jayne Kelli finds her way to the heavenly highs of Art Garfunkel with a soaring and effortless soprano delivery, while AJ Swearingen displays his dexterity with Simon's well-ensconced guitar riffs," according to The Capital Gazette.

The duo is on a mission to share this iconic music to new audiences around the country. Both artists were inspired by the great singer-songwriters of the past like Paul Simon, James Taylor, Carole King, Jim Croce and The Eagles among others. The duo has also been performing and writing music together since 2010, debuting their first self-titled album in 2013. Folk icon Tom Rush recorded and released their song, "You're Not Here With Me" on his last studio release.

After a successful release of their album "The Marrying Kind" last summer, Americana duo Swearingen and Kelli have been crisscrossing the country coast-to-coast on repeated tour runs and finally made that move to become permanent residents of Nashville, TN. Mother Church Pew describes the singer-songwriting duo as the "delicious blend of Swearingen’s smooth baritone and Kelli’s smoky vocals...inspired by great songwriters of the '60s and '70s".

The pair also got to perform their title track ballad, "The Marrying Kind" with dramatic performances by The Cleveland Orchestra, The Stockton Symphony and The Buffalo Philharmonic.

Tickets for the concert are $20 in advance and $25 at the door, available at the church office, 508-384-3110, or at www.musicatocc.org. The event will be in Fellowship Hall at the back of the church with entry from the parking lot behind the church. Parking is available behind the church and in the lot across the street.
