Legendary Kingston Trio in concert at The Flying Monkey Performance Center May 19

PLYMOUTH — The legendary Kingston Trio will appear in concert at The Flying Monkey Performance Center at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 19.

Part of the American music fabric for more than 50 years, the Kingston Trio are still as relevant and popular as ever. They have received two Grammy Awards, been named to the Grammy Hall of Fame, and this year they won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The group emerged from San Francisco's North Beach club scene in 1957 to take the country by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music into the mainstream for the first time. With their smooth three part harmonies, collegiate appeal, and trademark striped shirts, The Kingston Trio single-handedly revolutionized folk and pop music in America with hits like "Tom Dooley," "Scotch and Soda," "Hard, Ain’t It Hard," and "Tijuana Jail."

The Trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while influencing the musical tastes of a generation. Through changing times, they are still on the road 30 weeks a year, bringing back great memories and making new ones. As one fan put it, "Our generation might not live forever, but I'll bet The Kingston Trio will."

Tickets to the Kinston Trio’s performance are $40 for Reserved Orchestra, Tables, and Balcony, and $45 for Gold Circle. Tickets can be purchased online at www.flyingmonkeynh.com or by calling the box office at 536-2551. Dinner is available from 6 — 7 p.m. at an additional charge. Advanced reservations for the dining section are required. Doors open at 6 p.m.
