The Fabulous Limeliters In Concert!

For 50+ years the Limeliters have entertained standing-room-only crowds with their incredible musical talent and zany sense of humor. They first made their mark in folk clubs and on college campuses during the height of the folk music boom of the early 60s, which led to numerous TV appearances. With different configurations over the years, the group has preserved their signature vocal sound.

The Limeliters were formed in July, 1959 by Louis Gottlieb (bass), Alex Hassilev (baritone), and Glenn Yarbrough (tenor). It was springtime in Los Angeles, and Cosmo Alley was the nightclub to frequent. Lou Gottlieb, fresh from obtaining his Ph.D in musicology, just happened to be in the audience when Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yarbrough appeared on stage to sing a duet together. It was a chance meeting . . . and a legendary one. Lou, who was then working as a vocal arranger, originally thought that these two guys could help him make some demos for The Kingston Trio. However, when the three started working together, they could not restrain the magic.

More than all the albums, what The Limeliters are truly famous for is their trademark Limeliters sound. Never having a true chart-topping hit record, they are loved for a large collection of rousing songs including such audience-pleasers as Theres a Meetin Here Tonight, City of New Orleans, A Dollar Down, Have Some Madeira MDear, Lonesome Traveler, Wabash Cannonball, Whiskey in the Jar, and many others which are performed on their 25+ record albums and in their exciting concerts. Their current members are Gaylan Taylor, Andy Corwin, and Don Marovich, keeping the music alive and passing it on to new generations.

The trademark sound, harmonies, and sense of fun endure. Now more than ever, the surging vocals and wonderful sense of humor of this unique trio continue to earn them their title as The Fabulous Limeliters!
