The Balladiers were a group of USU musicians and singers that toured around the Western United States from 1965-1970, with a USO tour to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines in 1968 and several reunion tours in the 1980's and 2010's. Labeled a "folk rock" band, they performed as an ensemble, both in person and for radio and commercial television.
