The Kingston Trio, a legacy band that carries the torch for probably the most influential musical actions in trendy historical past, mixing calypso, people, bluegrass and rock themes into the Americana mainstream, performs Saturday, Dec. 7 on the Key West Theater.
Keys Weekly’s Britt Myers and Mandy Miles meet up with the trio for the most recent episode of the Florida Keys Weekly podcast. They talk about the band’s historic feats of record-breaking hits and album gross sales; the Beatles opening for the trio and their affect on Bob Dylan and the folks revival of the early ’60s. Many argue the Kingston Trio reworked trendy American music alongside pioneers equivalent to Elvis Presley, BB King and The Seashore Boys — mixing sounds and genres that endlessly modified how music was carried out and marketed. Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward symbolize the group at the moment, performing hits like “Tom Dooley” and “MTA” whereas reminiscing with nostalgic tales of rising up across the authentic trio.
Don’t miss the podcast, which drops some breaking information (spoiler alert) on a possible upcoming Netflix miniseries on the Kingston Trio. Some tickets stay at thekeywesttheater.com.
