THE KINGSTON TRIO 'KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING' NEARLY SEVEN DECADES SINCE THEY TOOK THE WORLD
BY STORM

Iconic group to appear for ONE NIGHT ONLY at the Mystic Theatre & Music Hall February 2
Nashville, Tenn. (January 8, 2024)--Nearly seven decades since they emerged from San Francisco'sNorth Beach club scene to introduce the sounds of folk music into the mainstream and take the world by
storm, The Kingston Trio return to their native California for their 2024 "Keep The Music
Playing" national tour.

Credited for sparking the "American Folk Revival" or folk movement of the late 50s and early 60s with theircommercial success (which at one point accounted for approximately 15% of Capitol records sales), and
known for hits such as "Tom Dooley," "M.T.A. (The Man Who Never Returned)," and "Where Have All TheFlowers Gone," The Kingston Trio will appear for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Friday, February 2 at the
Mystic Theatre & Music Hall (23 Petaluma Blvd. N.) in Petaluma, Calif. Tickets are $50 (plus fees) andare available by calling (707) 765-2121 or by visiting mystictheatre.com or the kingstontriowebsite. Showtime is 7PM.

Formed in 1956 by Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard (replaced by John Stewart at theheight of the group's popularity in 1961), The Kingston Trio is one of the longest-operating bandstouring today. Though the group has undergone multiple personnel changes and its founding members
have since passed away, the music of The Kingston Trio lives on with the passing of the torch to threenew members with intrinsic ties to the original: Mike Marvin (adopted son of founding memberReynolds), Tim Gorelangton (friend of Reynolds since boyhood and one of the few to record with
him), and Buddy Woodward (who toured with the Trio). All three personally remember the iconic trio'sperformances as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture the the top of
the music charts--perhaps part of the reason its newest members sound so much like the original Trio.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 suchas the multi-Grammy® nominated Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, The Kingston Trio occupies aunique, preeminent position in American musical history.

“I am proud to continue The Kingston Trio tradition and to share the music Nick, Dave, Bob and John
performed and getting audiences everywhere up and singing with us,” noted Mike Marvin, adding, “It’s all
the more gratifying to perform this music for all the fans and to 'Keep the Music Playing."
