Three Dog Night

Legendary band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now in its 6th decade, claims some of the most  astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group  achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets than  THREE DOG NIGHT.

THREE DOG NIGHT hits weave through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the  radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion  pictures — songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and  White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize THREE  DOG NIGHT’s continuing popularity.

Boasting chart and sales records that remain virtually unmatched in popular music, THREE DOG NIGHT holds a Billboard Magazine record for releasing 21 consecutive  Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)”, “Joy to the World”,  and “Liar; the chart success drove 7 Platinum-selling singles and 12 straight RIAA  Certified Gold LPs. The hits appeared on best-selling charts in all genres (pop, rock,  rhythm & blues, and country). Its records continue to sell around the world, reaching  beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain  and elsewhere. Tens of millions of THREE DOG NIGHT records have been sold through  the years.

Created in 1968 by Danny Hutton, THREE DOG NIGHT maintains an aggressive, year round touring schedule of over 90 dates a year, performing their hit filled concerts for multi-generational audiences. The band’s now-famous name refers to native Australian  hunters in the outback who huddled with their dogs for warmth on cold nights; the coldest being a “three dog night”.

The band recorded songs of the best and largely undiscovered new songwriters of its time  including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and  Hoyt Axton among many others. The group’s eclectic taste, combined with its ability to  recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive, and appealing style, resulted in THREE  DOG NIGHT dominating the charts for years. The band’s music transcends time,  bringing together both new and longtime audiences alike.

THREE DOG NIGHT demonstrates its eclectic song choices once again with the new  material being recorded for an upcoming album release. One of the new tracks, “Prayer  of the Children” was discovered by Hutton who created an a cappella arrangement, so  that for the first time in the history of the band, the vocals of all six  members of the band are featured. The song is currently part of their live concert set and  quickly becoming an audience favorite.

Marking over 50 years on the road, THREE DOG NIGHT continues to grow its fan base  by keeping up a full schedule of concerts at theatres, performing arts centers, fairs,  festivals, corporate events, and casinos. Since 1986, the band has performed nearly 3,000 shows including two Super Bowls.
