Description:
|
Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard formed the original Kingston Trio in 1957, while the three were attending
college in the San Francisco area. Using only acoustic guitars and banjos, and singing simple yet memorable melodies, they
revolutionized popular music, reawakening America to its own rich folk music heritage.
The Kingston Trio was the number one vocal group in the world, a musical and cultural phenomenon whose record sales and
concert draws were matched only by The Beatles. In a feat yet to be surpassed, BILLBOARD magazine listed four Kingston
Trio albums in their Top 10 at the same time. The group has also collected two Grammy awards and numerous gold records.
Some of their instantly recognizable hits include: "Tom Dooley," "MTA," "Scotch and Soda" and "Tijuana Jail."
The Kingston Trio’s trademark three-part harmony and clean, crisp sound keeps them touring 30 weeks out of the year. The
Kingston Trio today consists of George Grove, Bill Zorn and Rick Dougherty. The Trio’s busy touring schedule has resulted
in an increasing number of new fans, both young and old. www.kingstontrio.com
