The Limeliters

Description

When music fans remember ’60s folk music, they remember the iconic songs of The Limeliters. After six decades and 25+ albums-– including three top 10-– the trio still brings American folk classics into the modern age, with high energy, thrilling three-part harmonies, and zany humor. Since 2018, the band has been based in Texas. Award-winning singer-songwriters Andy Corwin, Steve Brooks and Daniel Boling carry on the signature vocal sound of founders Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yarbrough. Their concert programs transport baby boomers of all ages into a musical time machine, as they mix historical songs like ‘There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight,’ ‘John Henry’ and ‘Wabash Cannonball’ with ’60s standards like ‘If I Had a Hammer’ and ‘Those Were the Days.’ They include ‘Take My True Love by the Hand,’ which racked up more than 3 million YouTube views after appearing in the TV hit ‘Breaking Bad.’ Today’s Limes tour coast-to-coast, and around Texas, including halls like the Brauntex, the Bugle Boy, the 04 Center, and four appearances at the Kerrville Folk Festival. As Time Magazine puts it, ‘If the Kingston Trio are the undergraduates of big-time folk singing, the Limeliters are the faculty.’ Photo by Love Images.
