The King’s Trio began in 1986 at the first annual Gospel Winter Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin.  It began with Royce Sorensen and George Olinske.  Royce played guitar, banjo, Dobro and mandolin.  George played rhythm guitar and both sang. 

Although they did not expect to continue past the festival the Lord had other plans and they were kept busy for the summer.  During practice sessions they talked about trying to find a bass player.  After a time of prayer and waiting, in August of that year, they were joined by Lorn Schultz and the original King’s Trio was born.  Royce provided the instrumentation and baritone vocals, George played rhythm guitar and sang lead and Lorn provided high harmony and bass guitar.

With Royce switching instruments, all three sharing lead and George putting in some bass vocals, they had variety of sound that people enjoyed.  Lorn left in the spring of 1991 and Royce and George spent part of the summer as a duo again.

Then, in August of 1991 Lloyd Amacher came to play bass and sing baritone.  Lloyd has been with the group since then.  Along the way they acquired two other gentlemen that are an integral part of the team even though they can’t always be there.  Bud Holbrook plays steel guitar and Lloyd Howe plays lead guitar when they are available.

The King’s Trio claims Psalm 47 as a basis for their being and stands on Matthew 28:19-20 for what they do.  They have been blessed over the years to have been invited to share a stage in the Nashville Opryland Park with the Sullivan Family, Charlie Louvin and others.  They have been privileged to open for the great Cathedral Quartet and have been part of the Gospel Bluegrass and Oldtime Music Festival in Bruce Wisconsin since it's beginning in 1989.  In 1999 they were awarded the Silver Heart Award by the CGMA.  They have been back and forth across the country with their music and words from the Good Word and will continue as long as the Lord has a use for them.

With a blend of Country, Bluegrass, and Southern Gospel, the King’s Trio has recorded six albums, five of which are still currently available.
