  • Dave Guard, was an American folk singer, songwriter, arranger and recording artist. Along with Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane, he was one of the founding members of The Kingston Trio. Guard was educated in Honolulu at Punahou School in what was then the pre-statehood U.S. Territory of Hawaii. Upon completion of his final year of high school in 1952 at Menlo School, a private prep school in Menlo Park, California, he matriculated at nearby Stanford University, graduating in 1957 with a degree in Economics. While an undergraduate at Stanford, Guard started a pickup group with Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane. Guard called his group Dave Guard and the Calypsonians, with a Weavers-style signature sound that was principally two guitars, a banjo, and rollicking vocals. Guard kept the group together after Reynolds and Shane left, changing the name of the Calypsonians to The Kingston Quartet. Then in 1957, when Reynolds and Shane agreed to team up with Guard again, the group changed its name to The Kingston Trio. Under contract with Capitol Records, the Trio became a huge commercial and influential success. Guard is considered to be a very important figure of the folk music scene of both the 1950s and 1960s. The Kingston Trio is credited with creating and popularizing eclectic folk and neo-folk music, a form that is now being called "world music".
  • Dave Guard oli yhdysvaltalainen muusikko. Hän perusti The Kingston Trio -folkyhtyeen yhdessä Nick Reynoldsin ja Bob Shanen kanssa. Guard syntyi San Franciscossa ja opiskeli alun perin Havaijilla. Hän kävi lisäksi Menlo Schoolia Kaliforniassa ja valmistui sittemmin Stanfordin yliopistosta. Hän jätti The Kingston Trion vuonna 1961 perustaakseen uuden yhtyeen, Whiskeyhill Singersin, jonka ura jäi kuitenkin lyhyeksi. Myöhemmin 1960-luvulla Guard vietti vuosia Australiassa juontaen televisiossa Dave's Place -show’ta. Guard kuoli lymfoomaan 56-vuotiaana.
