If you’re looking for a fun night out in Greater Lansing, this is one to have on your radar. The Simon & Garfunkel Story is coming to the Wharton Center on March 22, and we had the chance to chat with drummer Billy Harrington ahead of the show.
Billy has a really interesting background. He’s originally from Ann Arbor and trained at the University of Michigan, and you can tell right away how much he genuinely loves the music he’s performing. If you’re not familiar with the show, it’s not just a concert. It’s a full experience that walks through the story of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, from their early days to becoming one of the most iconic duos of all time.
During our conversation, Billy talked about how special it is to be part of a show like this and why it continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. Whether you grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel or are hearing these songs for the first time, there’s something about experiencing them live that just hits differently.
And of course, you’ll hear all the songs you know and love. Think Cecelia, Mrs. Robinson, and Bridge Over Troubled Water and so many more.
One of our favorite parts of this interview was the local connection. It’s always fun to see someone from Michigan on stage at the Wharton Center, and it makes the experience feel even more special.
If you’re planning a date night or just want something a little different to do with friends, this is a great option to add to your list!
