The Limeliters are an iconic American folk trio that found their inception and initial fame during the folk music revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Formed in 1959 in San Francisco, the group originally consisted of Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yarbrough. Known for their rich harmonies, musical sophistication, and engaging stage presence, they quickly rose to national acclaim, solidifying their place in folk music history. Their versatility and topical song choice connected with audiences, making them a staple on the folk circuit, with notable appearances on television shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show."

Over the years, The Limeliters' lineup has seen changes with the departure and replacement of members, yet they have consistently maintained the integrity of their sound and musical vision. Albums such as "Songs America Sings" and "Pass the Music On" showcase their commitment to folk music and its power to tell stories and evoke communal experiences. Even with their more recent works, such as "Right From The Start" and "Until We Get It Right!", the group continues to echo the classics while resonating with contemporary messages and issues. With live performance albums like "Alive! In Concert," The Limeliters uphold their reputation for delivering heartfelt and dynamic live shows that captivate new and longtime fans alike.
