The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957. Using only acoustic guitars and banjos, and singing simple yet memorable melodies, they revolutionized popular music. The release of “Tom Dooley” began the “folk music revival” and set the stage for Dylan, Baez, Peter Paul & Mary and the entire protest movement of the 60s. 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. With trademark three-part harmony, and a clean, crisp sound, the current group is the most vocally complete since the original days.
