Posted Mar 07, 2023 1:16 PM

The Everly Set, namely Sean Altman and Jack Skuller, will perform Forever Simon & Garfunkel for the Golden Belt Community Concert Association at 7:30 p.m. March 14, at the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone. The performance is open to GBCCA members. Memberships will be available for purchase at the concert.

Golden Belt Community Concert members will revel in an evening of music celebrating Simon & Garfunkel, the best-selling duo in rock-and-roll history. Award-winning singer-songwriters Sean Altman and Jack Skuller, together known as The Everly Set, will sing the music of the forever-popular Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, at the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone.

With great humor, soaring energy, charm and laser-precise harmony, Altman and Skuller will lead the audience on a journey through Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel’s teenage roots, their early success as a groovy folk act, their global dominance as hit-makers, and the best of Paul Simon’s solo career.

Altman is the founder Rockapella, American a cappella singing group that began in the mid-1980s, and Skuller is the recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame Buddy Holly Prize.

Their concert will include such hits as “The Boxer,” “Sound of Silence,” “America,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “59th Street Bridge Song,” “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover,” and “Cecelia,” among so many others.

Members will remember The Everly Set, who performed a tribute to the Everly Brothers here in the 2019-2020 season. They present the music of Simon & Garfunkel with the same great humor, energy, charm and precision.

This GBCCA event is open to association members. No single concert tickets are available. Anyone who is not a member and wishes to purchase a season membership may do so at this concert.
