The Kingston Trio

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.

Beginning with the release of their classic hit recording “Tom Dooley,” the Grammy-winning Trio went on to release 19 albums that made Billboard’s Top 100 (with 14 of them hitting the Top 10 and five reaching number 1), while producing enduring favorites like “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and “Where Have… Show more all the Flowers Gone.”

If you’re a fan of folk, folk rock, and Americana music, these guys paved the way for all your favorite acts!

The group consists of George Grove, Bill Zorn, Rick Dougherty and Paul Gabrielson.
