CRITICS PRAISE THREE DOG NIGHT:
“Aging like wine, Wells and Hutton can still pour on the vocal power and the charm … as in their fabled heyday, Hutton handles the pop such as “Family of Man”, “Black and White”, “ Joy to the World”  and Wells gets soulful on hits” Never Been to Spain”, “Shambala” and “Brickyard Blues”. – San Antonio Express- News

 “Remaining faithful to the songs’studio versions, Three Dog Night deliver their hits with a refreshing exuberance.  Wells turns in a looser, more jocular version of “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” and Hutton takes “Joy To the World” and delivers it with a zeal as though he were singing it for the first time.” - Goldmine

THREE DOG NIGHT enjoyed a streak of success that few groups in popular music ever achieved. Huge hit singles and albums and sold-out concert tours cemented Three Dog Night as the most popular American group of the late 1960s and first half of the 1970s. Between 1969 and 1975, Three Dog Night notched up an astonishing track record of 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, 18 straight Top 20 hits, 11 Top 10 hits, three # 1 pop singles, seven million-selling singles and 12 straight gold albums. Fans couldn’t get enough of the band’s soulful, radio-friendly blend of pop and rock.

Now, after nearly 40 years on the road, THREE DOG NIGHT, with original members Danny Hutton (vocals), Cory Wells (vocals), Michael Allsup (guitar) and Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards) and longtime members Paul Kingery (bass, vocals) and Pat Bautz (drums), continues to grow its fan base and develop new ways of doing business.   In 2008 they continue to pursue an extensive schedule of concerts and are in the process of recording a new studio album for release later in the year.

ICON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC.
Presents
JEFF DUNHAM
Spark of Insanity
Silver Spurs Arena at Osceola Heritage Park
Friday December 12, 2008
DOORS @ 7:00 p.m.  / SHOW @ 8:00 p.m.

WITH TWO AMAZON.COM #1 SELLING DVDs, TWO RECORD-SETTING COMEDY CENTRAL SPECIALS, A SOLD-OUT NATIONAL TOUR, & YOU-TUBE HITS IN THE MULTI-MILLIONS, JEFF DUNHAM IS A POP CULTURE PHENOMENON!

Jeff Dunham’s undeniable talent has transcended the art of ventriloquism and transformed it into a cutting-edge comedy experience. His latest DVD, Spark of Insanity, held the number one spot on Amazon.com for eleven days, and is flying off retail shelves at a rate of 35,000 per week. Both of Dunham’s DVDs have gone multi-platinum (Arguing with Myself was released in April 2006), and Spark of Insanity continues to be one of the highest rated hour-long standup specials in Comedy Central’s history, with multiple airings every month. Since the release of Spark of Insanity in September 2007, Dunham has sold over 250,000 concert tickets, grossing in excess of $7 million in revenue, making him one of the strongest touring artists today. His overwhelming popularity and international appeal now has Canada taking note, as The Comedy Channel (Canada’s version of Comedy Central) will premiere both record-breaking specials - Arguing with Myself  and Spark of Insanity -  beginning this month. 

Dunham of course never travels alone, and fans of all ages have fallen in love with his fast-talking and socially reckless “Suitcase Posse”.  First, and probably most recognizable to TV viewers, is ‘Walter’, the elderly, outspoken, and politically incorrect curmudgeon who spouts his views on the foibles of marriage, politics, and anything else that needs skewering in American culture. Next is ‘Peanut’, a frenzied, loudmouthed, purple, loveable imp, who Walter describes as ‘a Muppet on crack’.  Then there’s ‘José Jalapeño’, a chili pepper who teamed up with Dunham after a pogo accident in his home country of Mexico, permanently placing him “on a STEEK!” Lowest on the I.Q. chart is ‘Bubba J’, simply white trash and trailer park, and a true diehard beer-drinking NASCAR fan.  Finally, Dunham’s latest character to join the act is ‘Achmed the Dead Terrorist’, who thankfully has failed in multiple suicidal tasks, and has allowed Dunham to throw a spitball directly in the eye of political correctness. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwOL4rB-go&feature=related. (Currently, this clip of Achmed and Dunham boasts over 22 million views.)

Tickets go on sale Friday, September 19th at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster (407) 839-3900, ticketmaster.com and the Silver Spurs Arena Box Office.  Ticket prices are $42.50.  All dates, acts and tickets prices are subject to change without notice.Š
