Peas and carrots. Smuckers and Jiffy. Papaya and lime. Simon and Garfunkel. Things go together for a reason, and in the latter case that reason was some of the most tuneful, earnest folk ballads of the 1960s. Blending pitch-perfect vocal harmonies with twee, heartfelt lyrics, the duo originally dubbed Tom and Jerry produced a sound that’s not merely unique—it’s unmistakable. Now, that sound is being channeled by a different pairing, AJ Swearingen and Jonathan Beedle, who will be bringing their interpretive time-machine act to the MACC for a one-night-only engagement. From Mrs. Robinson to Cecilia to Bridge Over Troubled Water, relive the hits that—pardon the late-night infomercial cliché—helped define a generation. Squint your eyes and you’ll swear you were in Greenwich Village in a black turtleneck, contemplating the sounds of silence. 242-7469; www.mauiarts.org
