Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel takes the Reynolds Hall stage at The Smith Center on a Friday at 7:30 PM — one of the most acoustically pure concert rooms in Las Vegas, and one of the few venues that matches the artist performing in it.

Half of Simon & Garfunkel, Garfunkel’s crystalline tenor helped define an era of American folk-pop, and these intimate, voice-forward performances are rare enough that missing one feels like a genuine missed opportunity. Las Vegas rarely gets an artist of this stature in a room this focused on simply hearing the voice.
