Biography
The Chad Mitchell Trio, an American vocal group, were formed in 1958 by William Chadbourne "Chad" Mitchell, Mike Kobluk, and Mike Pugh in Spokane, Washington, where they met as students at Gonzaga University. The Chad Mitchell Trio released their debut self-titled album in 1959. They gained attention for their satirical songs addressing contemporary issues such as the Cold War. Notable releases included "Mighty Day" and "Lizzie Borden". In 1965, Chad Mitchell left to pursue a solo career, leading to John Denver joining the group, re-christened as The Mitchell Trio. Line-up changes continued with David Boise replacing Joe Frazier in 1966 and Michael Johnson joining later. The group parted ways in 1969 after contractual issues prevented them from using the 'Mitchell' name. The trio reunited for several concerts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including performances with Tom Paxton and appearances at President Obama's 40th anniversary celebration for Representative Dave Obey. Joe Frazier died on 28 March 2014.
