Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme: A tribute to Simon and Garfunkel

Vedanth and Ananth return with their very popular intimate, acoustic tribute to Simon & Garfunkel at the Jagriti Theatre, in an event produced by Okapi. Two guitars, two voices in harmony, harking back to the format S&G would perform in their heyday; this tribute concert will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Among their set will be some quintessential Simon & Garfunkel tunes, like Sound Of Silence, Scarborough Fair, Anji, Peggy O, Richard Cory, Mrs Robinson, I Am a Rock, Homeward Bound, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and The Boxer.

About the Artists

Ananth Menon is a guitarist and singer from Bangalore, India. Ananth has been active in the blues and rock scene for the last 16 years and is one of Bangalore's most recognisable voices today. 

It was the release of Eric Clapton's Grammy-winning Unplugged album that changed Ananth's life - from Clapton, he quickly discovered the hallowed world of delta blues and from then on there was no looking back. Ananth started his journey into music as a bass player for Bangalore's oldest surviving blues band, the Chronic Blues Circus. He went on to play guitar with veteran Bangalore's rockers, the Galeej Gurus. Ananth also played in a short-lived, but critically acclaimed rock band Parachute XVI, releasing a four song EP called Sodium Trail and the Current Beantown Voice.

Vedanth Bharadwaj is a multi-faceted musician who dabbles in several genres of music. He has composed the music for the Tamil feature film Aruvi. He makes music for films, ads, dance and theatre productions. He specialises in singing songs written by mystic saint poets from the Bhakti and Sufi traditions. He has sung at several music festivals at prestigious venues in India and abroad. He has formally learnt Carnatic, Hindustani and Western classical music and is currently under the tutelage of Sri Ramamoorthy Rao. 

Vedanth is the director of the Chennai Children's Choir, a choir of children from economically challenged backgrounds, and they recently represented India at the Serenade Chorale Festival and sang at the prestigious Kennedy Centre in Washington DC.
