As the son of Art Garfunkel, music has always been an integral part of his life—not just as a companion, but as an essential part of his personality. This page offers insight into his story, projects, and the close bond he shares with his father.
A Musical Journey from Childhood
From an early age, Arthur Jr. stood on stage with his parents. Art Garfunkel gently introduced his son to the spotlight, allowing him to sing small parts, such as in the classic “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy).” Music was always a shared experience for them.
First Studio Recording as a Duet
An important milestone came in 1997 with the album Daydream – Songs from a Parent to a Child, where father and son first recorded the song “Good Luck Charm” together. This duet marked the beginning of a musical bond that continues to this day.
A Life Between Two Continents
Since 2006, Art Garfunkel Jr. has lived in Europe, where he has continued to build his own musical career. Despite the distance, his connection to his father remains strong—both personally and professionally. He visits New York several times a year, and continues to perform alongside Art Garfunkel whenever possible.
