Bob Shane (born Robert Castle Schoen, 1 February 1934, in Hilo, Hawaii) is an American folk singer and one of the founding members of The Kingston Trio. In that capacity, Shane became a seminal figure in the revival of folk and other acoustic music as a popular art form in the U.S. in the late 1950s through the mid 1960s. Wikipedia
Between the years of 1957-1967, Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard (who in 1961 was replaced by John Stewart), created a musical legacy that no other folk group has equalled or surpassed. www.folkera.com/ktrio/bio.html
Yet in less than a year, Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard would revolutionize popular music - and the acoustic guitar industry along with it. www.martinguitar.com/artists/display_artist.php?d=107
Equally important, the trio Dave Guard, Nick Reynolds, and Bob Shane made folk music immensely popular among many millions of listeners who previously had ignored it. www.vghf.org/inductees/kingston_trio.html

I reside in Phoenix with my wife Bobbie, and now that I have retired, I spend my time relaxing, shooting skeet, antiquing (I love the Arts & Crafts and Art Deco periods) and hiking. www.kingstontrio.com/content/bob_shane.htm
