Buddy Mondlock will be in Coffeyville the week of April 13 as part of the Coffeyville Community College Humanities Project.
Award winning songwriter Buddy Mondlock will give a talk about the legendary folk rock duo of Simon and Garfunkel. Mondlock has a unique perspective as he has written, recorded, and toured with Art Garfunkel. Together Mondlock, Art Garfunkel, and songwriter Maia Sharp wrote, recorded, and toured for their album “Everything Waits To Be Noticed” which was released on EMI/Manhattan Records in the fall of 2001.
Mondlock’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Garth Brooks, Nanci Griffith, Guy Clark, Joan Baez, and Janis Ian. In addition to songwriting, Mondlock has continued to make his own albums and tour internationally as a solo artist. His 2007 recording “The Edge of the World” won an Indie Acoustic Award for Best Male Singer Songwriter Album and his latest, “The Memory Wall” hit number 3 on the Folk DJ Radio Chart.
