Did you know that Three Dog Nighthas been around for 45 years?
Originally brought together in 1968 by Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, this Grammy nominated 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 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.”
Tickets for the Three Dog Night concert this coming Sunday, September 15 at 7pm are still available — click here to get yours!
