The Entertainment Department at Harrington Raceway and Casino is proud to announce that legendary music icons Three Dog Night are scheduled to perform at the Exhibit Hall on Saturday, February 4th, 2017, as part of the On Stage – Harrington series line-up.
Formed in 1967 and now in their fourth decade, Three Dog Night can boost some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. During the years from 1969 through 1974, no other group garnered more top 10 hits, sold more records and concert tickets than Three Dog Night! With 21 consecutive Top 40 Billboard hits (including three #1 singles), 11 Top 10’s, 18 Top 20’s and countless Gold albums, Three Dog Night truly defined a generation.
When vocalists Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron and Cory Wells first came together in 1967 forming a band called Redwood, no one could imagine what was in store in the years to follow. Abandoning the name Redwood in 1968, Hutton, Negron and Wells would then go on to establish a new band bringing on a talented backup group of musicians, took the name Three Dog Night, and the rest is history. Their first Gold album was titled “One” which the title song would garner #5 on the music charts. Hit after hit would follow including such classics as “Out In The Country” (#15), Eli’s Comin’” (#10), “An Old Fashioned Love Song” (#4), “Never Been To Spain” (#5), “Liar” (#7), “Shambala” (#3), and “The Show Must Go On” (#4). Their astonishing string of three #1 hits included “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)” (#1), “Black and White” (#1), and the classic “Joy To The World” (#1) cemented the group as true rock legends of the 20th century.
Most recently, the group began adding new songs to its playbook with the release of “Heart of Blues” and the beautiful a cappella ballad “Prayer of the Children” both available as digital releases. The group also recently recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra giving fans a new take on their classic hits as well as stirring arrangements of their new songs.
Throughout the years and several changes in the bands line-up, Three Dog Night continues to tour all over the world bringing their classic and infectious sound to sold-out audiences. This is sure to be an unforgettable night of classic Rock ‘n Roll, up close and personal, in the Exhibit Hall!
