Three Dog Night, 8 p.m. July 25 at Riverwind Casino, Norman.
Three Dog Night, one of the most popular and distinctive bands in the world, enters its fourth decade with an exciting new CD recorded with the Grammy Award winning London Symphony Orchestra.
Originally brought together in 1968 by Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, the group was enormously successful from the start. Hutton, who had graduated from loading and unloading records at the Disney studio to recording as a solo artist, met Cory Wells while he was touring with Sonny and Cher. The now-famous name came from a story about Australian aborigines who, on cold nights in the outback, sleep with their dogs for warmth. The coldest evenings are known as “three dog nights”.
Three Dog Night recorded the music of the best (and mostly undiscovered) new songwriters of their 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 their ability to recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive and appealing style, resulted in Three Dog Night dominating best-selling charts for years.
Three Dog Night tours extensively, performing at fairs, festivals, corporate events, casinos, theatres and special events with symphony orchestras. Since 1986, they have performed over 1,600 shows including two Superbowls. Their new symphony recordings promise to bring their voices to new fans, expanding the outreach and popularity of these extraordinary and legendary performers.
