About this event

Tickets are $24 and are available at: https://app.arts-people.com/?show=351726 For more than 60 years the Limeliters have entertained audiences from coast to coast with their soaring vocal harmonies and screwball 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. Before long, founding members Alex Hassilev, Lou Gottlieb and Glenn Yarbrough emerged as one of the dominant voices of the early 1960s folk music scene. A string of best-selling albums for RCA Records and frequent appearances on dozens of major TV shows quickly made them a household name. For three years they were the musical representatives for Coca-Cola, and their rendition of the jingle “Things Go Better with Coke” became a national hit. Time Magazine summed up their appeal with the following memorable quote: “If the button down scrubbed looking Kingston Trio are the undergraduates of bigtime folk singing, The Limeliters are the faculty.” Over the years, the lineup of the group has featured several spectacularly talented new members, but The Limeliters have never deviated from the integrity of the fabulous sound that they pioneered, and they are still one of the most exciting and entertaining vocal acts touring the country. The current lineup features Andy Corwin on bass and vocals, Steve Brooks on guitar, mandolin, harmonica and vocals, and Daniel Boling on guitar, banjo, penny whistle and vocals.
