Experience the true sound of American folk with the Trifecta of Folk

Trifecta of Folk will headline the eighth and last concert of the Greater Hazleton Concert Series season on Tuesday, May 9, at 7:30 p.m. at Hazleton Area High School Auditorium, 1601 W. 23rd Street, where abundant free, lighted parking is available.

The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four and The Limeliters come together in Trifecta of Folk. This extraordinary combination, a perfect concert of acoustic folk music by three of the best known names in folk, come together in one amazing show performing all the classic chart hits.

The Kingston Trio are 8 time nominees and 4 time Grammy winners, including 200 Lifetime Achievement Billboard Awards. The Brothers Four are known as the “pioneers of the Great American Folk Revival.” The Limeliters launched their career at the San Francisco’s “hungry i” night club. They have hit one million hits on YouTube with “Take My True Love by Her Hand.”

The Kingston Trio

All three current members, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Don Marovich, have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a close friend since boyhood, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Don Marovich, who has performed with the Trio and who plays the guitar, banjo and mandolin.

The Brothers Four

Now in their 60th year of performing and recording, The Brothers Four continue to delight millions of fans worldwide with their smooth, musical sounds. Since the early 1960s The Brothers Four have played thousands of college concerts, sung for U.S. presidents at the White House, appeared at countless Community Concerts, performed with symphony orchestras and jazz stars and toured dozens of foreign countries. They are truly “America’s Musical Ambassadors to the World.”

The Limeliters

For 50+ years the Limeliters have entertained standing-room-only crowds with their incredible musical talent and zany sense of humor. They first made their mark in folk clubs and on college campuses during the height of the folk music boom of the early 60s, which led to numerous TV appearances. With different configurations over the years, the group has preserved their signature vocal sound.

This is a once in lifetime opportunity to experience the true sound of folk, in your own backyard.
