It was also during these years that Shane met Punahou classmate Dave Guard and began performing with him at parties and school variety shows.

The group's first significant break came in the summer of 1957 when comedienne Phyllis Diller had to cancel an engagement at The Purple Onion, a small San Francisco night club, and Werber talked the management into hiring the untested trio for a week.

At the same time back in California, Guard and Reynolds had organized themselves somewhat more formally into an act named "The Kingston Quartet" with bassist Joe Gannon and his fianceé, vocalist Barbara Bogue.

At Menlo, Shane met and became fast friends with Nick Reynolds, originally from the San Diego area and also a musician and singer with a broad knowledge of folk and popular songs, due in part to Reynolds' music-loving father, a captain in the Navy.
The Calypsonians regrouped with Guard, Reynolds and Bob Shane becoming known as The Kingston Trio.
