Legendary Band Three Dog Night To Perform At Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, SD – (07/15/24) – Legendary band Three Dog Night, now in its sixth decade, continues to claim some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. From 1969 to 1974, no other group achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets than Three Dog Night.
Their timeless hits, including “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and White”, “Shambala”, and “One”, are woven into the fabric of pop culture today. These songs are frequently heard on the radio, featured in TV commercials, and showcased in major motion pictures, demonstrating Three Dog Night’s enduring popularity.
Boasting chart and sales records that remain virtually unmatched, Three Dog Night holds a Billboard Magazine record for releasing 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including three #1 singles: “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)”, “Joy to the World”, and “Liar”. This success led to seven Platinum-selling singles and twelve consecutive RIAA Certified Gold LPs. Their music has topped charts across various genres, and their records continue to sell worldwide, reaching audiences in Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain, and beyond.
Created in 1968 by Danny Hutton, Three Dog Night maintains an aggressive year-round touring schedule, performing over 90 dates annually for multi-generational audiences. The band’s name refers to native Australian hunters who huddled with their dogs for warmth on cold nights; the coldest being a “three dog night.”
Three Dog Night’s unique ability to recognize and record hits from largely undiscovered new songwriters, such as Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams, and Hoyt Axton, allowed them to dominate the charts for years. Their eclectic taste and distinctive style have kept their music relevant and beloved by both new and longtime fans.
The band continues to demonstrate its eclectic song choices with new material for an upcoming album release. One of the new tracks, “Prayer of the Children,” features an a cappella arrangement created by Hutton, highlighting the vocals of all six band members for the first time. This song is quickly becoming a fan favorite in their live concert set.
Marking over 50 years on the road, Three Dog Night continues to grow its fan base with 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 appearances at two Super Bowls.

George Thorogood To Rock Deadwood Mountain Grand For Kool Deadwood Nites Weekend Finale
Deadwood, SD – (06/03/24) – Legendary rock musician George Thorogood is set to deliver an electrifying performance at the Deadwood Mountain Grand on Sunday, August 25th. This highly anticipated concert will serve as the grand finale of the Kool Deadwood Nites weekend, a beloved annual event celebrating classic cars and rock 'n' roll.
On the evening of December 1st, 1973 at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first. “Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance floor all at once.” “We had the place rockin’,” Thorogood says. “From that very first show, Jeff and I knew we were onto something.”
Five decades, 15 million albums, and more than 8,000 performances later, few bands can still rock the house like George Thorogood & The Destroyers. And for Thorogood, Simon, and long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler, and Buddy Leach, their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will be a celebration like no other. But when asked to pick a career highlight, maybe one night over the past half-century that changed everything for George Thorogood & The Destroyers, he shakes his head, flashes a huge grin, and heads off to soundcheck. “My highlight is when I step on that bandstand,” Thorogood says. “The promoters invited us, the fans came to hear us, and we’re ready to rock. Every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”
Kool Deadwood Nites, which draws thousands of classic car enthusiasts and music fans to the historic town of Deadwood, offers a perfect blend of vintage vehicles and timeless music.
Tickets go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 4th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, June 7th.

Soon To Be Superstars – Treaty Oak Revival Makes A Tour Stop At Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (04/16/23) – Born from rowdy, dust-filled roots, the Red Dirt country and southern rock influenced band from west Texas, Treaty Oak Revival will make a stop at the 4 time Academy of Country Music (ACM) award nominee for ‘Casino of the Year – Theater’, Deadwood Mountain Grand on Wednesday, June 19th.
The band who has been receiving some of the best reviews in the country have racked up over 1.6 monthly listeners on Spotify and with only five years under their belt, a Grand Ole Opry debut just makes sense.
An invitation-only stage, the Opry stands as the country’s biggest honor. Megastars like Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Carrie Underwood, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks stood in the same wooden circle to be graced by Treaty Oak Revival earlier in February of 2024.
“The first time we were in Nashville, I met a guy at a concert who puts on the Highway 30 Music Fest. Unbeknownst to me, his wife is on the Opry team for finding talent. He got me in contact with her and I started inquiring, but it usually takes bands quite some time to be invited,” Eli Kidd, Treaty Oak’s tour manager, explained. “She got with her team — it’s a whole group who decides — she put us in front of them, they looked at our stats and credentials and decided they’d extend us an offer.”
Treaty Oak Revival consists of Sam Canty (lead singer/acoustic guitar), Lance Vanley (rhythm, electric/background vocals), Jeremiah Vanley (lead, electric guitar), Andrew Carey (bass) and Cody Holloway (drums). Their sound is rooted in Texas/Red Dirt country but draws from southern rock and punk influences, ultimately leading to a combination of styles that make the end product raw and refreshingly rough around the edges. The bands’s latest release “Have a Nice Day” is currently streaming on all platforms.
Tickets go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 16th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, April 19th. They will be available at the Deadwood Mountain Grand Box Office or at ticketmaster.com. Ticket buyers should note that TICKETMASTER is the only official ticket broker for Deadwood Mountain Grand.

Deadwood Mountain Grand Receives 4th Academy Of Country Music (ACM) Award Nomination
DEADWOOD, S.D. (4/09/24) – One of the most prestigious organizations in country music, the Academy of Country Music (ACM) has for the fourth time, nominated Deadwood Mountain Grand as ‘Casino of the Year - Theater’ for the 59th annual ceremony scheduled to take place Thursday, May 16th from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
Other nominees in the category include the Choctaw Grand Theater in Durant, OK, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT, Lucas Oil Live at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, OK and Resorts World Theater at Resorts World in Las Vegas, NV.
Deadwood Mountain Grand, who was also nominated in 2014, 2022 and 2023, is located in the heart of historic downtown Deadwood in the Black Hills of South Dakota and will bring national attention to the town of 1,300 people. “This type of publicity is invaluable to the City of Deadwood and the entire State of South Dakota,” said longtime Director of Entertainment and General Manager, Susan Kightlinger. “What a testament to our team that the artists and promoters within the country music community enjoy our facility and people so much that we have been nominated for a fourth time.”
The Academy of Country Music’s first award show was in 1966, honoring the industry’s accomplishments from the previous year. It was the first Country Music awards program held by a major organization, propelling Country Music into the public spotlight for the first time.
The awards show hit the TV airwaves in 1972, broadcast for the first time in national syndication on the ABC network. Gene Weed took over producing and directing the show in 1974, and in 1979 the academy joined forces with Dick Clark Productions to produce the show. Under their guidance, the ACM Awards moved to NBC, then CBS and final Amazon Prime Video, where it remains today.

The Marshall Tucker Band teams up with Jefferson Starship for performance at Deadwood Mountain Grand on Friday, September 6th
DEADWOOD, S.D. (04/01/24) – Two iconic names in music will team up for a one-night-only performance when the Marshall Tucker Band and Jefferson Starship take the stage at Deadwood Mountain Grand on Friday, September 6th.
Marshall Tucker Band
When you wake up and want to put a smile on your face, you think of the songs that always manage to reach down and touch your soul the moment you hear the first note. The Marshall Tucker Band is one such group that continues to have a profound level of impact on successive generations of listeners who’ve been "Searchin’ for a Rainbow" and found it perfectly represented by this tried-and-true Southern institution over the decades.
“I’ve been in tune with how music can make you feel, right from when I was first in the crib,” explains lead vocalist and bandleader Doug Gray, who’s been fronting the MTB since the very beginning. “I was born with that. And I realized it early on, back when I was a little kid and my mom and dad encouraged me to get up there and sing whatever song came on the jukebox. It got to the point where people were listening to me more than what was on the jukebox! There’s a certain gift I found I could share, whether I was in front of five people or 20,000 people. I was blessed with that ability and I’m thankful I can share with others."
The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Plus, the band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over.
A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over with a healthy dose of hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love Song,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See” (the signature tune of MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy Caldwell), the testifying “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of
“Long Hard Ride,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin,’” to name but a few.
The Marshall Tucker Band’s influence can be felt far and wide through many respected contemporaries and the artists who’ve followed the path forged by their collective footsteps and footstomps. “MTB helped originate and personify what was to become known as Southern rock, and I was privileged to watch it all come together in the ’70s, night after night,” said the legendary late Charlie Daniels. “Whenever Doug Gray walks into my dressing room with that big ol’ smile of his and then we hug each other and sit and talk for a while, the evening is complete.”
Ed Roland, the lead vocalist and chief songwriter for Collective Soul, adds “The Marshall Tucker Band had a big influence on me and they still do.” Roland, who’s lived the majority of his life in and around Atlanta, also proudly points out that his band’s biggest hit, “Shine,” owes a clear debt to the musical structure of “Can’t You See,” and he’ll often start off by singing the opening line to that song — “I’m gonna take a freight train” — whenever Collective Soul performs “Shine” live. “We don’t want to stray from what we grew up listening to,” Roland continues. “I think that’s something important for people to hear. It’s just who we are, and I don’t think we should run from it. Hopefully, people see that southern connection to the bands we love like Marshall Tucker in our music.”
Doug Gray sees no end to the road that lies ahead for The Marshall Tucker Band, whose legacy is being carried forward by the man himself and his current bandmates, drummer B.B. Borden (Mother’s Finest, The Outlaws), bassist/vocalist Ryan Ware, keyboardist/saxophonist/flautist/vocalist Marcus James Henderson, guitarist/vocalist Chris Hicks, and guitarist/ vocalist Rick Willis.
“You know, I think it was Toy Caldwell’s dad who said, ‘There’s more to gray hair than old bones,’ and we still have a lot of stories yet to tell,” Gray concludes. “People ask me all the time what I’m gonna do when I turn 80, and I always say, ‘The same thing that we’re continuing to do now.’ We’re road warriors, there’s no doubt about that — and I don’t intend to slow down.”
Jefferson Starship
When founding member Paul Kantner formed Jefferson Starship in the ’70s, he envisioned the band as a cast of musical adventurers, contributing to his epic concept albums and eventual deep catalog of rock classics. When the current lineup of the band came together alongside Kantner as a unit in 2012, with many members joining years before, he couldn’t have imagined that the band would become the road-conquering heroes they’ve been in the last few years.
Jefferson Starship’s five members describe themselves as both a “family” and a “gang,” and that comes across in talking to them, and in their robust live performances, which have taken them to all 50 U.S. states., five continents, and too many countries to list here (a recent tour of New Zealand was mentioned among the band’s favorites), drawing from a massive setlist of hit after hit.
In addition to original member David Freiberg, the band includes drummer Donny Baldwin (whose Jefferson Starship roots go back to 1982), keyboardist Chris Smith (who joined in 1998), guitarist Jude Gold (who joined in 2012), and singer and guitarist Cathy Richardson who joined in 2008, after Kantner saw her tour with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
As Jefferson Starship approaches their 50th anniversary, the group’s members look to the future with the word Kantner, who unfortunately died in 2016, used to say to them all the time: “Onward.” “To me that exploration — that Paul Kantner thing of just getting on a rocket ship and firing it as hard as it will go, and taking off and exploring the cosmos and the music, and everything in between — is really the spirit of Jefferson Starship, and that’s very much alive in the band today,” Gold says. “And that comes straight from Paul. And always has.”

Saliva And Drowning Pool Brings The Metal To Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (02/25/23) – Two of the most influential hard rock bands of the 2000’s will make a tour stop at Deadwood Mountain Grand when Saliva with Drowning Pool take the stage on Thursday, May 30th.
Veterans of the Memphis, Tennessee, rock scene, the members of Saliva came together in September of 1996. Within months the group had won an important local talent competition and took off for the semifinals of the Grammy Talent Showcase, sponsored by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Although the group had only been together for a short time, it put on an impressive set that took it to the final round of competition. Despite losing out on the grand prize, the exposure brought the band to the attention of several major record labels.
After releasing its self-titled debut in 1997 on its own label, the band signed with Island Records. Saliva's major-label debut, Every Six Seconds, appeared in 2001. Led by the modern rock hit track "Your Disease," the album earned a gold record for sales in the year after its release.
After releasing a greatest-hits collection in 2010, Saliva issued their seventh album, 2011's “Under Your Skin”. Months later, after 15 years together, Scott parted ways with the band to pursue a solo career. Saliva announced his replacement, Bobby Amaru, in early 2012. They signed with RumBum Records later that year, releasing their eighth album, “In It to Win It, in late 2013”.
The band has continued to build its fan base through its energetic live shows. Saliva currently consists of Brad Stewart (bass), Wayne Swinny (guitar), Sammi Jo Bishop (drums) and Bobby Amaru (vocals).
Drowning Pool, a name etched in the annals of modern rock history, roars back into the spotlight with thunderous energy and uncompromising power. The band’s unmistakable sound, synonymous with raw energy and unapologetic attitude, returns to captivate audiences once again.
Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the new metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.
Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.
Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The stage is set for a triumphant resurgence, and Drowning Pool is poised to reignite the fires of their unmistakable sound.
Tickets go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 26th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, March 29th.

Summer Kickstart Free Concert Weekend featuring Neal McCoy, Big Head Todd & The Monsters
DEADWOOD, S.D. (03/08/24) – Deadwood Mountain Grand is once again partnering with Deadwood’s Outlaw Square to present the Summer Kickstart Concert Weekend, featuring free concerts from country music legend Neal McCoy on Friday, May 24th and Big Head Todd & the Monsters on Saturday, May 25th.
This second annual event is free of charge to all guests and will officially kick-off the summer season at the picturesque Outlaw Square in the heart of downtown Deadwood.
Friday night’s headliner is two time Country Music Entertainer of the Year, Neal McCoy. With five #1 hits, three certified Platinum and one Gold Record as well as numerous humanitarian and charitable awards, McCoy will be performing his hits like “No Doubt About It”, “Wink”, “You Gotta Love That”, “The Shake” and many more.
McCoy has released fifteen studio albums on various labels, and has released 34 singles to country radio. In 1993, Neal McCoy broke through with the back-to-back number 1 singles “No Doubt About It” and “Wink” from his Platinum-certified album No Doubt About It. His commercial success continued into the late 1990s with two more Platinum albums and a Gold album, as well as six more Top Ten hits. A seventh Top Ten hit, “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On”, came in 2005 from his self-released That’s Life.
Big Head Todd and The Monsters have persisted as a rare force of nature in rock ‘n’ roll. The platinum-selling Colorado quartet—Todd Park Mohr [vocals, guitar, keys, sax, harmonica], Brian Nevin [drums, percussion], Rob Squires [bass, vocals], and Jeremy Lawton [guitar, keys, vocals, steel guitar]—have consistently churned out undeniable and often uplifting anthems fueled by a hybrid of no-nonsense hard rock, simmering soul, dyed-in-the-wool blues, and a twist of country.
Akin to your favorite classic automobile, their influence and imprint only widen over time, selling out even bigger venues and enrapturing new eras of fans with every passing year. These cats have always paved their own lane. Todd, Brian, and Rob started playing music together while still in high school during the early eighties. Becoming Big Head Todd and The Monsters during 1986, that lane has twisted and turned just as much as Highway 66.
Following a quiet D.I.Y. rise, the group shook the mainstream with 1993’s now-classic platinum-certified Sister Sweetly. In its wake, Robert Plant tapped the band to open his Fate of Nations Tour. Following Strategem [1994], they unveiled Beautiful World [1997] highlighted by a cover of “Boom Boom” [feat. John Lee Hooker]—which notably became the theme song for NCIS: New Orleans.
They welcomed Jeremy to the fold in 2001. After penning “Blue Sky” at the urging of friends connected to NASA, they notably performed the song live from Mission Control as an interplanetary wakeup call for astronauts on the shuttle. Along the way, the guys joined B.B. King for a “Crossroads” session and toured with blues heroes a la Hubert Sumlin and David “Honeyboy” Edwards.
They have headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre a staggering 35 times. Recognizing “38 years of continuous musical service to fans,” the Colorado Music Hall of Fame inducted the quartet as part of its “Class of 2023.” Now, they’ve crafted the perfect soundtrack to this journey in the form of their 12th full-length offering, Thunderbird.
