Legendary band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now in its 6th decade, claims some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 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 weave 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.

Tap Into Soul with Solomon Jaye

Fri, May 2, 2025 / 7pm

Blending multi-octave vocals and world-class tap dancing on a soulful setlist featuring both classic and contemporary chart-topping hits, Solomon Jaye's TAP INTO SOUL offers an exciting new take on a timeless genre of music. From "I Feel Good" (James Brown) and "Let's Stay Together" (Al Green) through "Superstition" (Stevie Wonder) and "September" (Earth, Wind & Fire) to "Shape of You" (Ed Sheeran) and "Uptown Funk" (Bruno Mars), the incredible music featured in this high-energy show (accompanied by Jaye's frenzy of fast footwork and even some surprise instrumental solos) transports listeners from the 1950s to today in the blink of an eye! Audiences may have previously seen or heard him via collaborations with a parade of Grammy winners and nominees, including Pentatonix, Jessie J, Robin Thicke, Jazz phenom Mindi Abair, and Broadway stars Shoshana Bean and Alyssa Fox… but if you haven't yet experienced the incredible cross-genre mashup of music, dance, and electrifying energy created every time Solomon Jaye steps onto the stage, it's time to TAP INTO SOUL!
