Iconic American band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now celebrating its 6th decade, boasts some of the most astonishing chart statistics in popular music with 21 consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs.
Created in 1968 by Irish-born Danny Hutton, the group was conceived to feature three strong vocalists who shared leads and also blended together in exquisite three-part harmony, complemented by four ace instrumentalists, creating a self-contained unit. This
ultimately became Three Dog Night’s signature sound in the studio and live on the road.
From their debut eponymous album, Three Dog Night went on to release 12 gold albums and by 1975, driven by chart-topping songs like “One” “Easy to be Hard”, “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” “Joy to the World”, “Black and White”, “Shambala” and others, the band had sold over 50 million records. During that time Three Dog Night also toured relentlessly, quickly ramping up from smaller venues to selling out stadiums, virtually establishing the modern concept of a “stadium tour”.
The band’s name –Three Dog Night is the now famous moniker that derives from the tale of outback hunters who sleep with their dingoes on cold nights, the coldest being a “three dog night”.
Still road warriors at heart, Three Dog Night hits stages 80+ times a year — reminding the faithful why those songs became classics, and converting a whole new generation who weren’t even born when it all began.
