Folk legends Peter, Paul and Mary return to AMT this spring. Considered the most popular folk group of the 1960’s,
this infamous trio has proved to be among the most durable music acts in history. Maybe not so surprising, since
Peter, Paul and Mary’s roots run deeper than almost any other folk group in history. During their first ten years,
they recorded about one album a year and many of the songs are classics – “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “If I Had A Hammer,”
“Puff, The Magic Dragon,” “Lemon Tree,” “Where Have All The Flowers Gone,” “Stewball,” “500 Miles,” “Leaving On
A Jet Plane,” and “This Land Is Your Land.” During the 1960’s the times were-a changin’ . . . but over the last
40 years, Peter, Paul & Mary’s commitment to the struggles for social justice have not. That commitment is
as strong today as ever.
