DEADWOOD, S.D. (03/06/23) – Three Dog Night is one of the most iconic rock bands in music history. A band that had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including three #1 singles, 11 Top 10’s, 18 straight Top 20’s, seven million-selling singles and 12 straight Gold records. They will return to the Deadwood Mountain Grand stage for a performance on Saturday, June 3rd.
The band, now in its 5th 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.
“When we heard we had an opportunity to host an iconic band like Three Dog Night once again at Deadwood Mountain Grand we jumped at the chance,” said Susan Kightlinger, General Manager. “They have an unbelievable amount of hit songs and their live performances are outstanding, so we know it’s going to be a great show!”
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”, “Never Been To Spain”, “Black And White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to crystallize Three Dog Night’s continuing popularity.
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 here 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 Three Dog Night, 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.
