The “Sound of Silence” was spot on with harmonies as good as the record. His stellar performance included all his great songs along with a couple of classics from the Graduate. A nice mix - a little of everything is on the roster.Īrt Garfunkel is a legend and his lyrics will live on for eternity. However, in addition, the Bijou also offers a wide array of well know rock, jazz and country artists from the past and present such as: Lindsey Buckingham, Christopher Cross, and Joe Jackson. It provides an opportunity for lesser known local and TN groups to advance their career and gain a higher level of identity than by just playing in the area pubs or smaller venues. The Bijou is unique because it fills a void in the KNOX area. The staff is cordial and they have a great concession area. The Bijou is classical,- really historical, and over 100 years old. We liked the way they have their restaurant next door directly connected to the theater. The small venue setting is our preference and the seating arrangement at the Bijou is ideal - with a good view of the stage from most areas.
The Art Garfunkel concert was the first event we attended at the Knoxville Bijou and it was very good. My wife nagged me to get the Garfunkel tickets in December 2018 so I purchased seats from Ticketmaster at 10:01 AM on the morning they went on sale and got really good seats.
