About 3 Doors Down
Formed in 1995, Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum Mississippi rock band 3 Doors Down consistently captivates audiences worldwide. The quintet’s many accolades include selling 16 million albums globally, receiving three Grammy nominations, and winning two American Music Awards, and five BMI Pop Awards for songwriting—including “Songwriter of the Year.”
Their debut The Better Life, became certified six-times RIAA platinum in 2000 and was fueled by the success of juggernaut hit “Kryptonite.” This was followed by 2002’s sophomore album, Away from the Sun which went triple-platinum and saw similar success with “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You.” 2005’s platinum Seventeen Days and 2008’s 3 Doors Down each earned #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, while Time of My Life landed at #3 in 2011. In 2003, the group founded the charity The Better Life Foundation.
Ignited by the single “In The Dark,” 3 Doors Down unleashed their sixth full-length album, Us and the Night, on Friday, March 11 and is available in stores and digitally.
“By adding 3 Doors Down to the Ribfest line-up we are excited about bringing excellent musicians to our event,” stated Jen Odin Cavalier, 2016 Ribfest Chair. “Our intent is to continue to bring world-class artists to Ribfest each and every year so we can raise money to help fulfill our mission of ending child abuse and domestic violence.”
