The Tritons, a new addition to TC’s vocal program this year, offer an exciting brand of folksinging, an entertainment medium that is at present skyrocketing in popularity throughout America.
In choosing their material, the three young men—Dickie Adcock, George Brennan, and Alan Haile—pick songs which naturally lend themselves to an enthusiastic, collegiate type of performance. Most of these songs come out of the Ameri can folk-song and ballad repertoire: honest, full and emotional songs which become even greater and more meaningful when sung with honesty, sincerity and dedication.
Frequently spiced with original songs and humor, the Trio’s style was in the making for more than a year before the members joined the college program. The group has performed for a wide variety of clubs and parties—before audiences ranging in number from 15 to 1500 and in age from 8 to 80. They are presently appearing weekly on a local television program covering a large area in the four states.
Youthfulness and informal enthusiasm are the most important qualities of this trio. The members of this happy threesome have such a “whale of a good time” just being together and performing. And you can be sure that those who hear them do too!
