JOSH REYNOLDS

Martin O-18t Nick Reynolds Signature Tenor guitar, bongos and conga.

Josh didn't quite realize the impact of growing up around the Kingston Trio — until he lost his father.

After Nick passed away in 2008, Josh went back to his guitar and began to take it seriously.  He had help from a wonderful range of musicians and friends in the extended Kingston Trio fan family.

After  years of hard work in the The Lion Sons, the band he founded with Mike Marvin and Tim Gorelangton, he is ready to carry on the family tradition.

For about a year, Josh stepped into his father’s role in the Kingston Trio. He play(ed) tenor guitar, conga, and bongos and was often the comedic center of the group. Josh has been heavily in the Tenor Guitar Foundation, founded by the late Mark Josephs. After Mark passed, Josh took over the Presidency for 3 years and helped produce their annual Tenor Guitar Gathering in Astoria, Oregon , which consists of workshops, jams, concerts and much more with the ultimate goal to obtain instruments to give to children who want to learn to play, but do not have the resources financially to buy an instrument. “Fostering Musicianship Four Strings At a Time”. Josh stepped down as President a few years ago and the “TGF” and it’s annual Gathering are on hold until the COVID situation allows gatherings. Harriott Balmer is the President and she and Donna Josephs (Mark’s sister) spearhead The Tenor Guitar Foundation.

Josh brings his media savvy to the Kingston Trio as he heads up all social media, commercial and video production, and re-branding of the Kingston Trio.
