The Limeliters
Legendary Folk Group

Thursday, June 22, 2023
Doors 6:50 pm • Showtime 7:30

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.

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 “There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight,” “City of New Orleans,” “A Dollar Down,” “Have Some Madeira M’Dear,” “Lonesome Traveler,” “Wabash Cannonball,” “Whiskey in the Jar,” and many others which are performed on their 25+ record albums and in their exciting concerts.

Through the decades, many members have joined and left the group, but in 2004, comedian baritone Andy Corwin joined “The Limes” - bringing new energy, enthusiasm and musical material to the group and with the addition of newest members, C. Daniel Boling and Steve BrooksThe Limeliters are poised to “pass the music on” to new audiences, young and old.
