I'm looking for commercial-sounding sea song group that were active in New England in maybe the 1970s-90s. They were trying to do Kingston Trio to sea music, and they were relatively successful. I'm sure they sold lots more recordings and booked lots more concerts than us purist types. And anybody think of the group I'm trying to remember? They had lots of CDs out at one time. -Joe- |
