Three Dog Night to Perform in Branson
One of the most popular and distinctive bands in the
world will add some sizzle to Branson’s Hot Winter
Fun season in March. Welk-Sullivan Productions announced
today that Three Dog Night will perform at the Welk
Resort Theatre in Branson at 8 p.m. on Friday, March
4 and Saturday, March 5.
Huge hit singles and albums along with sold-out concerts
established Three Dog Night as the most popular American
group in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. From 1969
through 1974, no other group had more Top 10 hits, moved
more records or sold more concert tickets. Their list
of hits includes Mama Told Me Not To Come, Joy To The
World, Black and White, Shambala, Easy To Be Hard, An
Old Fashioned Love Song, The Show Must Go On, One, Never
Been To Spain and more.
Three Dog Night has 21 consecutive Top-40 hits, 18
straight Top-20 hits, 11-Top 10 hits, three #1 pop singles,
7 million-selling singles and 12 straight gold albums.
They recorded music of the best and mostly undiscovered
new songwriters of their time including Harry Nilsson,
Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams,
Hoyt Axton and others. The group’s eclectic taste,
combined with their ability to recognize and record
hits in a distinctive and appealing style, resulted
in Three Dog Night dominating best-selling charts for
years.
“Three Dog Night’s success came not only
in record sales and radio,” said Joe Sullivan,
Executive Producer of Welk-Sullivan Productions. “Three
Dog Night is known for their live performances and that’s
the experience we’re bringing to Branson. Audiences
are in for a real treat when Three Dog Night performs
their classic rock/pop music in the intimate, elegant
setting of Branson’s Welk Resort Theatre,”
he said.
Three Dog Night’s signature sound features founding
members Cory Wells and Danny Hutton on lead vocals,
as well as original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and
guitarist Michael Allsup. Completing the lineup are
Paul Kingery on bass and vocals and Pat Bautz on drums.
