Three Dog Night
with special guest Jay Psaros
There is no doubt that Three Dog Night is one of rock music’s biggest legends. Now in its fifth decade of touring and recording, the band has achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records, and sold more concert tickets than any other pop-rock artist of the late 60s and early 70s. During the band’s heyday, it recorded 21 Billboard Top 40 hits and 12 gold albums. More than 50 years later, many of its hits can still be heard today on the radio, in TV commercials, and in major motion pictures. Lead singer Danny Hutton and former Three Dog Night members Cory Wells and Chuck Negron started the band in the late 1960s under the name Redwood. But they soon switched names after a friend suggested
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
changing it to Three Dog Night, an expression used by Australian hunters to describe extremely cold nights in the outback as those where one must cozy up to a trio of dogs to survive the frigid temperatures. After the release of Three Dog Night’s first self-titled album, which spawned the hit singles "Nobody," "Try A Little Tenderness," and "One," the band was quickly thrust into the spotlight. Decades later, those songs, plus many others—such as “Mama Told Me (Not To Come),” “Joy to the World,” “Black and White,” and “Shambala”—are still widely known and loved by music fans across generations. Today the band continues to persevere, remaining a relevant force
on the rock music scene, with a fan base of millions and a rigorous touring schedule that attracts packed audiences across the country and around the globe.
Jay Psaros
Jay Psaros has always been a committed live performer, covering a wide range of musical influences set to the backdrop of his own brand of New England folk/rock. On and off the stage, Psaros' music has found its way to the ears of listeners across the country.

Don McLean
became fascinated by the musical stylings of Frank Sinatra and Buddy Holly. He also had a particular love for folk music, inspired by The Weaver’s recording “Live at Carnegie Hall” in 1955. The result of these musical influences was a desire in McLean to become a musician himself.
Don McLean, one of the most revered and respected singer/songwriters in rock history, is best known for the iconic song "American Pie." The song was off McLean’s second album by the same name, which quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 upon its release in 1971. Meanwhile the “American Pie” single charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and became known as the longest song to occupy the No. 1 spot, clocking in at nearly nine minutes. It wasn’t until 2021, when Taylor Swift broke that record with her lengthy 10minute hit “All Too Well.” The popularity of the song “American Pie” continues to endure and has received numerous recognitions. It has been named as one of “365 Songs of
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
the Century,” by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts and has been included in the book “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.” The “American Pie” album also spawned another hit single, “Vincent” (“Starry, Starry Night”), and other memorable songs, including “Castles in the Air," and "Cryin.” Over the course of his career, McLean has produced over 200 songs and 18 albums. His most recent release, “Still Playing’ Favorites,” includes songs that have been featured in major motion pictures like “Black Widow” and “Finch.” McLean’s early musical influences date back to his childhood, when he
He purchased his first guitar when he was a teenager. Despite his childhood asthma, he would often play shows for his family and friends. Incidentally, this also meant that McLean would often miss long periods of school. However, this allowed his love and passion for music to continue to grow. He took vocal lessons and exercised regularly with a regiment that included running, walking, and swimming, to strengthen his breath control and improve his singing. Through the years, Don McLean has received many honors for his music. In 2004, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. His songs have also been recorded and covered by many popular artists, including Madonna, Lady Gaga, Home Free and more. Today, McLean is one of the most influential and impactful musical artists of all time and he continues to inspire generations with his music.

The Doo-Wop Project
The Doo-Wop Project is coming to the SVMF stage to take audiences on a musical journey that traces the evolution of doo-wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Promising to be an unforgettable experience, it will be an evening filled with soulful harmonies, lively choreography, and an atmosphere that takes the audience back to the nostalgic and energetic era of poodle skirts, jukeboxes, and heartfelt melodies. The harmonies are tight, and the vocal prowess of each performer shines as they take turns delivering powerful solos. The Doo-Wop Project currently
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
features Dominic Nolfi, Charl Brown, John Michael Dias, Russel Fischer, Dwayne Cooper, and Santino Paladino, all stars from the Broadway hit shows "Jersey Boys," "Motown: The Musical," and "A Bronx Tale." The group was initially conceived backstage during a “Jersey Boys” show on Broadway as a shared vision between Nolfi and former member Dominic Scaglione. Initially gaining popularity in the 1950s, songs in the doo-wop genre typically featured vocal music with a simple beat and little instrumentation. Doo-wop quickly captured the attention of many young people and produced timeless classics like “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” “Sixty Minute Man,” and “Where are You?”
The Doo-Wop Project performs classic hits from artists that include the Crests, the Belmonts, the Flamingos, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations and The Four Seasons, among many others. The group also puts its own “doo-wopified” spin on legendary hits from artists like Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith. This show is an electrifying experience that celebrates the timeless magic of doo-wop and pays tribute to an era that continues to captivate hearts and minds, leaving the audience with a sense of nostalgia and a renewed appreciation for the power of harmony and melody.

1964 The Tribute “American Bandstand” host Dick Clark, who once said that, “1964 creates the Magic of The Beatles.” Alistair Taylor, former president of Apple Records, also said: “The resemblance was uncanny. It sent shivers down my spine. It was just like the boys. Never have I seen another group go to such detail.” Originally, the group thought its stint as a Beatles tribute band would only last a short while.
Want to experience the magic of watching the Beatles perform live in concert? Want to relive a quintessential moment in music history, or maybe to experience it for the first time? If so, then this is a show you won’t want to miss. In its performances, 1964 The Tribute strives to replicate a live Beatles performance as closely as possible. Playing a variety of the Beatles’ earliest hits, 1964 excels at recreating all aspects of a Beatles performance, including the hairdos, clothing, instruments, and onstage banter between members. Each member performs the role of a different Beatle with amazing accuracy. Its performance is so accurate, in fact, that Rolling Stone magazine has
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
dubbed 1964 the “Best Beatles Tribute on Earth.” Current members include one of the group’s founders Mark Benson as John Lennon, Mac Ruffing as Paul McCartney, Doug Couture as George Harrison, and Joseph Bologna as Ringo Starr. The group’s members go to many lengths to replicate the Beatles’ sound. Ruffing learned to play the guitar lefthanded, despite actually being righthanded, to more accurately portray Paul McCartney. And Benson customized his Rickenbacker guitars to sound exactly like John Lennon’s original guitars.
“We had no idea that when we first started this band, that it would lead to us performing at so many of the venues The Beatles played, like Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Deauville Hotel, Shea Stadium, and The Cavern in Liverpool, England," Benson said. But the band has continued to tour and attract audiences across the country and around the world. "1964 shows the audience what it was like to attend a Beatles concert in the early 60s and generates the same feeling of happiness that is still generated by the music of The Beatles,” Benson said. “We get so much of this positive energy back from our audiences, it reassures us that for now, we are where we’re supposed to be."
The group’s performances have also received praise from famous

Steep Canyon Rangers with special guest Larry & Joe
Returning to the SVMF stage for a second time, Steep Canyon Rangers has become one of the most recognizable modern names in bluegrass music. The band became widely known for its performances and collaborations with renowned banjoist, comedian, and actor Steve Martin. Despite its extensive touring without Martin in recent years, the band has established itself as an essential listen for any fan of bluegrass, country, or Americana music. Steep Canyon Rangers got its start 23 years ago, with members forming a band at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Over time, Steep Canyon Rangers began headlining festivals, such as Merlefest and Grey Fox Bluegrass, before catching the attention of Martin, who invited the band to perform with him at a benefit concert in Los Angeles.
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
From there, Steep Canyon Rangers and Martin embarked on a world bluegrass tour and collaborated on the albums “Rare Bird Alert” and “The Long Awaited Album.” The band’s association with Martin led to appearances on TV shows, including “Later With Jools Holland” and “Austin City Limits,” and the radio show “A Prairie Home Companion.” Steep Canyon Rangers is often compared to the likes of The Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the modern Zac Brown Band. The group has also earned numerous recognitions. In 2006, Steep Canyon Rangers was named Emerging Artist of the Year and 2011, was named Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). And in 2013, Steep Canyon Rangers won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album for the LP “Nobody Knows You.”
Larry & Joe
Larry & Joe were destined to make music together. Larry Bellorín hails from Monagas, Venezuela, and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a Grammynominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Currently based in the Triangle region of North Carolina, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, guitar, maracas and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program the duo offers features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

Legends of Country Rock featuring Pure Prairie League and Firefall
Pure Prairie League
A pioneer of the 1970s country-rock movement, Pure Prairie League is best known for the classic hit "Amie," which remains its biggest chart success to date. The song was first recorded on the band’s second and most successful album, "Bustin' Out," which also spawned other hits, including "Falling In and Out of Love," “Early Morning Riser,” and “Jazzman.” This album solidified the band’s place in the country rock genre and gained a loyal fan base in the millions. Following that album was the success of “Two Lane Highway,” in 1975 and nine more after that. Pure Prairie League, now in its fifth decade of making music, is a testament to the timelessness of its classic country rock sound. With its present-day lineup that includes founding
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2023
member/pedal-steel innovator John David Call, Pure Prairie League continues to embellish the rich 43-year history of one of country rock’s pioneering forces. The band’s music continues to resonate with fans of country rock and Americana today with one notable reviewer, who wrote: “PPL’s trademark sound combines sweet memories with edgy contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight-razor.”
Firefall
The country rock legend Firefall saturated the nation's radio airwaves and toured the world over in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, selling millions of records and earning two platinum and three gold albums.
The Colorado-based band released its eponymous first album in 1976, which quickly earned gold status and featured the top 10 hit song “You are the Woman.” The band would later follow it up with classics like “Just Remember I Love You” and “Strange Way,” both of which charted in the top 20 on the Billboard charts upon their respective releases. Firefall has shared the stage with many of the top bands of its day, such as Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band, Chicago, The Beach Boys, Loggins and Messina, America, Bob Seger, Heart and many others. The band was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2015. Additionally, its first album became certified platinum more than 25 years after its initial release. In 2020, the

grounds the band as it continues to explore deeply rooted yet fresh folkrock sounds. Having gained the experience of thousands of shows, festivals, and many miles on the road, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them.
The Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains, where the band got its start, and always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. The Harrisonburg-based band formed in 2005 with Jay Lapp (vocals, guitars, mandolin), Eric Brubaker (vocals, fiddle), and lead singer Trent Wagler (guitar, banjo). The musicians initially came together as a vehicle for Wagler’s songwriting and released several albums under his moniker, before officially adopting the The Steel

Wheels name with the 2010 release of “Red Wing.” Quickly staking its claim as an independent upstart in the burgeoning Americana scene, The Steel Wheels followed up “Red Wing” with three more self-produced albums in the next five years, before joining forces with producer Sam Kassirer for “Wild As We Came Here” (2017) and “Over The Trees” (2019). Kevin Garcia (drums, percussion, keys) joined in 2017, bringing a new level of sonic depth and polish to the group. Newest member Jeremy Darrow rounds out the rhythm section and
Nowhere is this shared humanity more evident than at the band’s own Red Wing Roots Music Festival, a weekend-long celebration of music and community in beautiful Augusta County. Hosted by The Steel Wheels every summer, the festival provides a space for the band to shine, from its high energy Saturday night main stage set to its afternoon showcase with young Red Wing Academy students. In addition to its own festival, the group also has its own label—Big Ring Records—and has received many accolades for its music through the years, including Independent Music Awards for Best Country Song for “Nothin you Can’t Lose” and Best Gospel Song for “Working on a Building” in 2011. The album “Red Wing” was also critically acclaimed after charting for 13 weeks on the Americana Music Association Top 40 radio charts. Continued on page 37
