Iconic group to appear at The Lobero Theatre
ONE NIGHT ONLY
April 9, 7 P.M.
Nashville, Tenn. (February 26, 2024)--Nearly seven decades since they emerged from San Francisco's North 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 their commercial 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 The Flowers Gone," The Kingston Trio will appear for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Tuesday, April 9 at The Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.) in Santa Barbara. Tickets start at $26 for students and range from $51 - $76 for the general public (plus fees) and are available via loberotheatre.com, by calling (805) 963-0761 or 1-888-4LOBERO (1-888-456-2376), or at the box office. Showtime is 7 P.M.
Formed in 1956 by Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard (replaced by John Stewart at the height of the group's popularity in 1961), The Kingston Trio is one of the longest-operating bands touring 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 three new members with intrinsic ties to the original: Mike Marvin (adopted son of founding member Reynolds), 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's performances as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture at 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 such as the multi-Grammy® nominated Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, The Kingston Trio occupies a unique, preeminent position in American musical history.

More than 20,000 candy-filled eggs are up for grabs at Elings Park’s Great Egg Hunt held Saturday, March 30, 2024, from 9 a.m. to noon in the park’s softball fields. The actual egg hunt is organized by age groups for children up to age 10, and children should bring their own baskets. The free festive annual event also includes visits from – and photos with – Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny, face painters, Luna’s Jumps bounce houses, and festive music provided by Music by Bonnie. New this year: smoothies and coffee for purchase from Claudia Coffee Bar food truck.

“The Easter Bunny gave us magic seeds that produce blades of grass that grow to just the perfect height to cradle the eggs and make them easy for little hands to grab,” said Dean Noble, the park’s executive director. “As with past years, he and Mrs. Bunny will be at the Great Egg Hunt to meet all their friends.”

The park opens at 9 a.m. and there are three timed starts by age group: Baby Bunnies (ages 0 to 3) at 10 a.m.; Daring Ducks (ages 4 to 6) at 10:45 a.m.; and Jack Rabbits (ages 7 to 10) at 11:30 a.m. Festivities continue until noon.

Hundreds of egg-seekers are expected, and parking is limited. Families are encouraged to arrive early. Advance VIP parking permits are available now at $20 per car by visiting the Elings Park Office or calling (805) 569-5611; permits must be picked up by Friday, March 29 at noon. Parking on the day of the event is $10 per car, paid at the entry gate, first-come-first served.
