About

Three Dog Night will be performing at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, with special guest Charlie Farren at Peabody Auditorium. 

Legendary band, Three Dog Night, now in its fifth decade, claims some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. From 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. Their popular songs, including “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 had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including three number one singles, 11 Top 10 hits, 18 straight Top 20 hits, seven million-selling singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs.

The hits appeared on bestselling charts in all genres (pop, rock and country). Their records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. including into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany and Spain. 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, yearround touring schedule of more than 90 dates a year, performing their hit-filled concerts for multigenerational audiences. The band’s 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 by the best and largely undiscovered new songwriters of its time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton. 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 new and longtime audiences. 

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 acapella 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 more than 50 years on the road, Three Dog Night continues to grow their 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.
