The trio Peter, Paul and Mary was created by promoter Albert Grossman in 1961, and with their rich harmonies, they became one of the most influential groups of the 1960s. Peter Yarrow, Mary Travers, and Noel Stookey, whose middle name "Paul" Grossman insisted on using to complete the catchy group name, had top-10 hits with four of their first five singles and introduced Bob Dylan to the world with Blowin’ In The Wind and Don’t Think Twice. This touching program tells the story of their rise from Greenwich Village to the national spotlight, with live performances of their most popular songs (including If I Had a Hammer, Puff, and Jet Plane) while slides illustrate the commentary of their story and include lyrics for audience sing-along.

Joan Friedenberg, Ph.D., and Bill Bowen are longtime educators and writers who combined their talents to form the PinkSlip Duo 15 years ago, blending music with storytelling through engaging musical lectures. Named “Best Folk Band” in Palm Beach and Broward counties by New Times, they perform with a variety of instruments and highlight the lives and songs of their musical heroes.
