Born in New York City on December 15, 1990, James Garfunkel grew up as an only child until his brother Beau joined the family in 2005 when he was 15. At the age of 31, James is known primarily as an actor and has appeared in four different projects since 2001, according to IMDb. While it isn’t his main focus, James’s range of artistic abilities does in fact include music.
When he was only 12 years old, James hopped on stage with his dad at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in 2002, joining him in a performance before the crowd. More recently in May of 2019, Art Garfunkel welcomed his oldest son to the stage at his concert in Napa to sing “Devoted To You” and “Let It Be Me” in remembrance of the late Phil Everly (both songs were popular hits by The Everly Brothers). In a heartwarming exhibition of harmonic grace, the father-son duo stood side-by-side before the crowd as they delivered the songs an a way that echoed the majestic synergy of Simon & Garfunkel’s earliest and most monumental days.
