Legendary band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now in its 5th 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 THREEDOG NIGHT’s continuing popularity. Boasting chart and sales records that remain virtually unmatched in popular music, THREE DOG NIGHT had 21 consecutive Top40 hits, including 3 #1 singles, 11 Top10’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. Created in 1968 by Danny Hutton, THREE DOG NIGHT maintains an aggressive, year-round touring schedule of over90dates a year, performing their hit filled concerts for multi-generational audiences. 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”. The band recorded songs of the best and largely undiscovered new songwriters of its time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others. The group’s eclectic taste, combined with its ability to recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive, and appealing style, resulted in THREEDOG NIGHT dominating the charts for years. The band’s music transcends time, bringing together both new and longtime audiences alike. THREE DOG NIGHT demonstrates its eclectic song choices once again with the new material being recorded for an upcoming album release. One of the new tracks, “Prayer of the Children” was discovered by Hutton who created an acappella arrangement, so that for the first time in the history of THREE DOG NIGHT, the vocals of all six members of the band are featured. The song is currently part of their live concert set and quickly becoming an audience favorite Marking over50years on the road, THREE DOG NIGHT continues to grow its fan base by keeping up a full schedule of concerts at theatres, performing arts centers, fairs, festivals, corporate events, and casinos. Since 1986,the band has performed nearly 3,000shows including two Super Bowls.

“A brilliantly gifted songwriter.” -The Huffington Post

For someone who’s been on the road for more than 150 dates a year for the past 15 years, Chris Trapper
appears to have taken his unsolicited break from touring pretty well. In between weekly livestreams on
Facebook & Instagram, Trapper also performed in his fan’s backyards across the country all summer long
during his “Socially Distanced Backyardapalooza” tours in 2020 and 2021. To top it all off, Chris entered a
studio near his home in Boston, MA to record his new album “Cold Water Waltz”.

“Recording an album in normal times is an interesting experience, so imagine creating new music during
a global pandemic. Although I worked intensely with the producers (Brad Young and Jason Meeker) in
their respective studios, I could rest assured because as most musicians know; audio engineers social
distanced before it was trending.”

The album is a mostly stripped-down affair, with the focus squarely on Trapper’s achingly honest lyrics,
honeyed tenor and delicate fingerpicking. The record features Boston legends Duke Levine (Aimee Man,
Peter Wolf) & Jim Prescott (G Love & Special Sauce) as well as Matt Beck (Matchbox Twenty, Rod
Stewart) & even a co-write with Rob Thomas.

“I wrote most of these songs when I was opening for Rob over the summer of 2019. There were lots of
days off then and admittedly, it was easy to get inspired to write new songs after witnessing so many
thousands of people psyched to hear his songs every night. Rob & I wrote the song “Clear” together and
he is truly the coolest guy to co-write with as he is all about the creative process and never about the
ego.”

“Cold Water Waltz” was released on October 16th, 2020 and is available at christrapper.com and on all
streaming and download services.

Chris has shared the stage and studio with the likes of John Prine, Pat Benatar, Rob Thomas, Colin Hay,
Julian Lennon, and Great Big Sea.

The New York Times has called his work “classic pop perfection.”

“His humble sense of humility is what makes Trapper’s songs so strong… He makes you feel like you are
the person he’s singing about.” -Popdose
