For more than 60 years the Limeliters have entertained audiences from coast to coast with their soaring vocal harmonies and screwball 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 60's. Before long, founding members Alex Hassilev, Lou Gottlieb and Glenn Yarbrough emerged as one of the dominant voices of the early 1960’s folk music scene.
A string of best-selling albums for RCA Records and frequent appearances on dozens of major TV shows quickly made them a household name. For three years they were the musical representatives for Coca-Cola, and their rendition of the jingle “Things Go Better with Coke” became a national hit.
Time Magazine summed up their appeal with the following memorable quote: “If the button down scrubbed looking Kingston Trio are the undergraduates of big- time folk singing, The Limeliters are the faculty.”
Over the years, the lineup of the group has featured several spectacularly talented new members, but The Limeliters have never deviated from the integrity of the fabulous sound that they pioneered and they are still one of the most exciting and entertaining vocal acts touring the country.
ANDY CORWIN – Bass & Vocals
A native New Yorker, Andy first came on to the folk scene in the early 1990s as the long haired, scraggly bass player of The Foremen, a Los Angeles-based, folk music /comedy quartet, best remembered for clever and literate political satire. As a solo singer-songwriter, Andy has performed throughout The U.S. --- and his off-beat comedy songs have been awarded top honors at several folk festivals. Since joining The Limeliters, in 2004, he has been holding forth as the group's spokesman and “middle voice”.
He is also an accomplished documentary filmmaker and television editor whose work has appeared on PBS, The History Channel, A & E, Nat Geo, Discovery Networks and HGTV, to name but a few.
STEVE BROOKS – Guitar, Mandolin, Hamonica & Vocals
Cross two famous guys named Brooks – Garth and Mel – and you get Austin singer-songwriter Steve Brooks. A classic Texas troubadour who mixes storytelling, humor, heartbreak and cracker-barrel philosophy, his songs have
been recorded by more than a dozen Americana artists, including Slaid Cleaves, Christine Albert and Russell Crowe. In the early 2000's, he wrote a song-a-week for Jim Hightower’s nationally-syndicated radio show and appeared on TV’s “I’ve Got a Secret” as six-time World Pun Champion. Writes Stave Magazine, “He is simply the most clever man you’ll hear with a guitar.”
DANIEL BOLING – Guitar, Banjo, Penny Whistle & Vocals
Balladeer/songwriter Daniel Boling is a past winner of the prestigious Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk songwriter contest and other songwriting honors including the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, Walnut Valley Festival, Santa Fe Bluegrass and Old Time Festival and more. A Park Ranger and Criminal Investigator in National Parks and Public Lands throughout the western U.S.A. for 30 years, since 2008 he has toured coast-to-coast and overseas in over one hundred shows a year in house concerts, listening rooms, theatres and festivals. Daniel grew up on traditional folk music and the folk songs of the 60s. He is a Berkalin Records recording artist and has released eight solo albums since 1999.
Daniel’s 9th solo album, NEW OLD FRIENDS, was produced by Jono Manson and released on Berkalin Records in August, 2023. All 15 songs on the album were co-written by Daniel with legendary folk songwriter Tom Paxton, and Tom sings on five of them. The album reached #4 on folk charts in North America, #5 in Europe, and is nominated for six New Mexico Music Awards. It was chosen among Top 10 Albums of the year by Folk Radio DJs across the U.S., as his 2016 album THESE HOUSES and his 2014 album SLEEPING DOGS also were. THESE HOUSES was considered for GRAMMY Nomination as “Best Folk Album”. Daniel and Tom are working on another co-written album to be released in 2024.
