The H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center will play host to classic rock and brass music in the coming week, showcasing Three Dog Night and River City Brass (RCB) “Brasstacular.”
Three Dog Night is now in its fourth decade of bringing classic hits to cities around the globe.
The group was one of the most successful acts of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, bringing songs like “Joy to the World,” “Black and White” and “Shambala” to excited audiences representing multiple generations.
Three Dog Night boasts 12 straight gold albums, 40 hit songs and three No. 1 singles over its career. Three Dog Night will perform songs spanning its entire career, including classic hits and new tunes, during the group’s stop at Luhrs, one of dozens of shows the band is playing this year, making them one of the most aggressive touring groups currently active.
In 1981, RCB became the first professional concert band to be established in the U.S. in over 25 years and the 28-piece ensemble of talented musicians tours throughout the U.S. with more than 40 shows each year.
The ensemble can be seen everywhere from California to New York, performing at art festivals, symphony series and concert series.
A review from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch boasts, “It’s not a reach to say that this may be the most fun with music you’re going to have all year.”
RCB is coming to Luhrs on Feb. 4 and tickets are currently on sale online or at the Luhrs Center box office.
Three Dog Night performs on Jan. 30 with tickets still available.
