Barbershop Quartet Performs 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'

Talented barbershop quartet, Trocadero, perform the classic song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water.’

This iconic song was released in 1969 by the popular duo Simon & Garfunkel. Over the years, countless artists have lent their voices to this tune and it’s truly stood the test of time. It’s combination of difficult notes and poignant lyrics make it a one powerful number.

“When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I'll dry them all (all)
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down”

Today, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ is getting the barbershop treatment and it’s absolutely incredible. The four talented men of Trocadero perform this classic song live at the Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This performance was part of the 2014 Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention. This is one of those songs that always touch a special place in people’s hearts and when you hear it a cappella, it makes the words so much more impactful.

“Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind”

It’s extremely difficult to perform a song without any music, but Trocadero makes it almost seem easy. From the arrangement to the way all four of their voices combine together perfectly, this rendition of ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ is one you won’t forget.
