Three Dog Night (the Two-Dog Version) hits The Arcada Theatre this Friday Night ... and we can't wait to see them.
Danny Hutton and Cory Wells tore things up on a very rainy and soggy night in Elk Grove Village last year ... and we're really looking forward to these guys recreating all the hits live on stage at the intimate Arcada Theatre.
They sold the place out a couple of years ago ... we couldn't even get in!!! So if you're looking for tickets, I suggest you grab them now!

The missing third, Chuck Negron, returns to the area in August when Chuck performs as part of the 2014 Happy Together Tour. One of our readers recently saw Chuck in Connecticut and filed this report ...
Meanwhile, have you heard who's touring as the new lead vocalist of Blood, Sweat and Tears?!?!?
Call it "idol gossip" if you like, but American Idol runner-up Bo Bice (who did that GREAT version of "Vehicle" on the show the year he lost to Carrie Underwood) is now serving that honor ... so this, too, may be a show you'd like to see when it hits your area. (Check out this video clip of Bice performing the hits ... he's cleaned-up nicely, hasn't he?!?! And he sounds pretty damn good, too!!!) kk

Times Square Gossip ran a great review of this past weekend's Monkees Convention in New Jersey, which was also attended by Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith (as well as their families!) We told you a couple of days ago that The Monkees are back on tour ... and headed to our area on May 31st to perform at The Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville, IN. (I'm hoping to attend that one as, believe it or not, I have NEVER been able to see Nesmith live in concert!) More details below:
Despite the implication in this report that there MIGHT be a Monkees tour, we're here to tell you that there absolutely IS a Monkees tour!!! (Check the schedule and see if they may be comin' to your town!)
In fact The Monkees are scheduling dates around already booked solo appearances by Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith so that fans like us (Micky's here solo on May 2nd at The Arcada Theatre, appearing with The Cowsills ... and then again on May 31st at The Star Plaza with The Monkees) have ample opportunities to see their favorites.
