WILMINGTON — Known for hits like “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” and “Joy to the World,” Three Dog Night will be touring through Wilmington this August.
Tickets go on sale this Friday to the Aug. 14 show. The band will be joined by special guests Ambrosia and John Ford Coley.
Three Dog Night has scored almost two dozen Top 40 hits in their 60-year reign, including three number-one singles, including “Mama Told Me” written by Randy Newman, “Joy to the World” written by Hoyt Axon and “Black and White” written by David Arkin. They’ve also hit platinum and gold status on many singles and LPs.
The band — consisting of vocalists Chuck Negron, Cory Wells, and Danny Hutton. This lineup was soon augmented by Jimmy Greenspoon, Joe Schermie, Michael Allsup, and Floyd Sneed — has released two new tracks, including the a cappella tune “Prayer of the Children” and “Heart Of Blues.” Both are to be performed along with their classic hits on the current 39-stop tour.
Tickets are on sale to Wilmington’s show online to Wilson Center members on Wednesday, May 14, and open to the general public on Friday, May 16, at 10 a.m. They can be purchased online here.
