The Doobie Brothers, with Special Guest Three Dog Night, to Perform in Las Vegas on Monday, July 28

Concert at Orleans Arena will benefit shoe charity Soles4Souls(TM) Inc.

LAS VEGAS and NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Soles4Souls Inc., the international shoe charity dedicated to providing free footwear to people in need around the world, announced that legendary rock bands The Doobie Brothers and Three Dog Night are performing a benefit concert for the non-profit organization in Las Vegas. The concert will be on Monday, July 28 at the Orleans Arena, with tickets currently available on www.orleansarena.com

"We are absolutely thrilled that the Doobie Brothers and Three Dog Night are coming together for one night in support of Soles4Souls," said Wayne Elsey, CEO and Founder of Soles4Souls Inc. "We are proud to once again partner with the Orleans Arena in providing unique entertainment in Las Vegas," he said.

The Doobie Brothers are known as one of the most popular rock bands of the 1970s, releasing a number of gold and platinum albums in the United States. They created several classic rock staples, such as "Listen to the Music," "Black Water" and "China Grove." Other famous hits include "Long Train Runnin,'" "Jesus Is Just Alright," and "Takin' It to the Streets."

Three Dog Night enjoyed unparalleled success during the early 1970s, as no other band had more Top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets. From 1969 to 1974, Three Dog Night was undoubtedly the most popular band in America: twenty-one consecutive Top 40 hits and twelve straight gold LPs. By late 1975, they had sold nearly 50 million records. With mega-hits like "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Joy to the World," "Black and White" and "Shambala," the group's eclectic taste, combined with their ability to recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive and appealing style, resulted in Three Dog Night dominating best-selling charts for years.

New York-based boho Magazine, the first-ever green fashion/lifestyle publication to be printed entirely on recycled paper with natural soy inks and no glossy finishes, is sponsoring the event.

Tickets are priced at $25.00, $42.50, $59.00, and are available on the Orleans Arena website: www.orleansarena.com . For more information or to purchase tickets, please call 1-888-234-2334.
