The Kingston Trio to play Central Park Performing Arts Center


LARGO — The Kingston Trio will perform on Monday, March 17, 7:30 p.m., at the Central Park Performing Arts Center, 105 Central Park Drive, Largo.

All three current members — including Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward — have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group. Marvin is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Gorelangton, a close friend since boyhood, is one of the few musicians outside the trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Woodward, who has performed with longtime Kingston Trio member George Grove.

Many of their personal memories recall the iconic trio’s performances and journey as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture — and the top of the music charts. They’ll perform such timeless classics “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “Tom Dooley.”

Cited as an influence by recording artists as musically and generationally diverse as Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Eagles to comedian and banjo player Steve Martin to contemporary artists such as the multi-Grammy nominated Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, The Kingston Trio occupies a unique, preeminent position in American musical history.
