The Kingston Trio, the groundbreaking, Grammy Award-winning American Pop-Folk group, joins 15-Time District Champions, Narragansett Bay Chorus, along with senior quartet champions, Trade Secret and up and coming collegiate stars, Curtain Call, for a very special “American A Cappella” show on Saturday, Sept. 10, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

In 1957, The Kingston Trio emerged from San Francisco's North Beach club scene to take the country by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music into the mainstream for the first time. During the late ’50s and early ’60s, the trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while influencing the musical tastes of a generation.

Through changing times, the trio has played on, remaining popular for a simple reason – great songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard them. And 58 years after “Tom Dooley” shot to the top of the charts, the trio is still on the road 30 weeks a year, bringing back all the great memories and making new ones.

The Narragansett Bay Chorus is the performing unit of the Providence Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society – the largest male singing organization in the world! Competitively, the chorus has been the Society’s District winner on 15 separate occasions.

Based in the Greater Providence area since 1949, the Narragansett Bay Chorus is a premier chorus that sings popular music a cappella in four-part harmony. They perform, primarily in the New England area, but have also performed in England, Canada, and across the United States. Membership includes men of all ages from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

“American A Cappella” featuring The Kingston Trio will be presented on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The theatre is located at 1245 Jefferson Boulevard in Warwick. Tickets are $50 for premium seating, $40 for standard seating, and $25 for value seating, and are on sale at the box office Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., and performance days from noon to curtain. Tickets are also available online 24 hours a day at OceanStateTheatre.org and via telephone during normal box office hours by calling 401-921-6800.
