By popular demand – the Hurdy Gurdy welcomes back Aztec Two-Step – who will be performing a very special “duos” concert! In this special evening, they will honor the pure poetry of the legendary Simon & Garfunkel and the seminal songs and harmonies of the remarkable Everly Brothers. And as the other "classic duo," they'll perform their own fan favorites as well.

Bursting on the scene in 1972, folk-rock duo Aztec Two-Step quickly became staples of progressive FM and college radio. Taking their name from a poem by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, they were credited with helping to usher the music of the 1960s into the '70s and beyond with their self-titled debut on Elektra Records and three subsequent albums for RCA Records. 

Recording and touring non-stop since the ‘70s, Rex Fowler & Neal Shulman have accumulated over forty years of awards, accolades and TV and radio appearances. They have been the subject of the documentary “No Hit Wonder” that aired on PBS, have appeared on the David Letterman show, World Café Live and King Biscuit Flour Hour, and have graced countless stages including those of Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. With their intelligent songwriting, dazzling acoustic lead guitar & inspiring harmonies, the duo continues to be one of acoustic music's most respected & enduring acts. 

From the beginning, Aztec Two-Step was reviewed as having the “east coast sensibility,” “intellectual lyricism” and “ethereal harmonies” of their legendary predecessors Simon & Garfunkel. So while possessing a rich musical legacy of their own, it only made sense that they would choose to interpret and perform the timeless songs and harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers.

“…the right sound at the right time
…beautiful acoustic guitar playing and questioning lyrics
…songs performed with forceful vocals
and near perfect instrumental harmonies.”
