Thread Name: Where Have All The Groups Gone?
Subject: RE: Where Have All The Groups Gone?
A few of the "old folkie groups" are still touring, and for the most part, filling venues; mid-sized theaters, large clubs or ballrooms, and an occasional Symphony hall. I think the current incarnation of the Kingston Trio-no originals left-tours quite a bit, and often with some symphony that one of the members has written charts for; the Limeliters only have Alex Hassilev left as an original, but also have concert dates; Chad Mitchell Trio is on some kind of reunion thing, and there is a "Brothers Four" group out there, but I have no idea who the "brothers" are right now. So, my point bein' there IS a market for this-but certainly nothing like the 50's and 60's. Oh yeah-PP&M with Mary having battled leukemia so far successfully is out there too.
