Legendary music icons, THREE DOG NIGHT, celebrating nearly 5 decades, claims some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years more...0 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 wind 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 -- songs like “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. This Grammy-nominated band is not content resting on its legacy alone. Always working to expand its audience, THREE DOG NIGHT has embraced and been embraced by 21st century music technology. New and existing fans buy THREE DOG NIGHT’s music on iTunes as well as at record stores. In fact, releases from this decade alone have sold well over a million copies. Recently, THREE DOG NIGHT began adding new songs to its arsenal by releasing its first double-A sided single in nearly 25 years. The blistering performance of "Heart Of Blues" and the timely, beautiful a-cappella ballad "Prayer of the Children” are available online at iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital retailers as well as through the official band website (www.threedognight.com). THREE DOG NIGHT maintains an aggressive, year-round touring schedule of over 70 dates a year. The hit filled concerts are performed for generation-spanning audiences by Danny Hutton (founder/lead vocalist) and Michael Allsup (guitar), Paul Kingery (bass/vocals), Pat Bautz (drums), Howard Laravea (keyboards) and David Morgan (vocals). The band’s now-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”. Boasting chart and sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, THREE DOG NIGHT had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles, 11 Top 10’s, 18 straight Top 20’s, 7 million-selling singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs. The hits appeared on best-selling charts in all genres (pop, rock and country). Its records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and elsewhere. Tens of millions of THREE DOG NIGHT records have been sold through the years.

The Western Colorado Botanic Gardens will be the setting for live music, tasty food, and specialty whiskey and wine. Tickets can be purchased at 970tix.com and cost $45. All proceeds benefit CDA programs which strive to increase the independence, self-confidence, self-worth, and education of people with disabilities, their families and friends, through outdoor recreation. “CDA is such an amazing program with exceptional clients, but it takes a lot of resources to provide quality outdoor experiences for people with disabilities—this event is a fun way for people to help out,” said Event Chair, Sherry Schriener. Enjoy delectable hors d’oeuvres and cocktails beginning at 6:00 p.m. and music by the Sweet Lillies from Denver. In addition to awesome music, food, and libations, there will be a silent auction with great items such as a Hala stand up paddleboard, luggage by Patagonia, and fabulous adventure trips. All funds raised through the auction and event make it possible for CDA to continue serving people with disabilities. Put on your Chacos and come on down to the river for an evening of food, drink, and fun! For the past 39 years, Colorado Discover Ability (CDA) has been providing outdoor recreation opportunities for people with disabilities in Mesa County and surrounding communities. We started as an adaptive skiing program at Powderhorn Mountain Resort in 1980. River rafting, day camps for children and adults, adaptive cycling, and Camp Freedom –an annual overnight camp for children with severe disabilities have been added to the program offerings since then. We seek to provide an integrated, authentic experience for clients, family and friends. We achieve this by providing an array of equipment and an enthusiastic staff and group of volunteers who focus on enabling the person to participate to his or her greatest ability. The end goal is to instill a great desire and ability on behalf of our client to continue to recreate on their own, or at least with as much independence as possible.
