In
1957 The Kingston Trio emerged from San Francisco's North
Beach club
scene to
take the country by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music
into the mainstream for the first time. During the late 50s & early 60s,
the Trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and
worldwide fame, while
influencing the musical tastes of a generation.
Through
changing times, the Trio has played on, remaining popular for a simple
reason... great songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard
them. Over forty years after the song, "Tom Dooley" shot to the top
of the charts, the Trio is still on the road thirty weeks out of the year,
bringing back all the great memories and making new ones.
