When Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman, the critically acclaimed duo known as Aztec Two-Step, burst onto the scene in 1972 with their Elektra Records debut, they were reviewed as having the “intellectual lyricism” and “ethereal harmonies” of their legendary predecessors, Simon & Garfunkel. Jack Holzman, founder of Elektra Records called the pair "the elegant folk group" and insisted they join the recording company's impressive stable of rock legends. In the years that followed, Aztec Two-Step recorded 16 CDs, became the subject a documentary DVD about their story and created a loyal fan-base whose numbers have swelled over the last four decades of the duo's career. Their first album, along with their subsequent albums for RCA Records, were staples of progressive FM and college radio.
Renowned for bringing the folk/rock music of the 1960s into the '70s and beyond, Aztec Two-Step continues to be one of acoustic music's most respected and enduring acts. While the duo possess a rich musical legacy of their own, it only makes sense that they would choose to interpret and perform the timeless songs and harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel.
In this special performance at the Firehouse you will hear some of your all-time favorite Aztec Two-Step songs as well as the intricate harmonies of classic Simon and Garfunkel hits.
“In the midst of pure-as-silk harmonies and tight pop-rock-folk arrangements, Fowler’s songs are biting commentaries of contemporary society.” - Boston Globe
"Much more than a night of nostalgia, Aztec Two-Step
invite you into their living room for a personal retrospective on the music that influenced them - and an entire generation. A big winner and not just because they sold our place out.” - David Lavalley, Center for Arts, Natick, MA
