The Halifax Three formed at a New Year's Eve party in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1960, when Dennis Doherty sang for the first time with Richard Byrne and Patrick LaCroix. At first called the Colonials, they made a rare single for Rodeo Records in 1961 ("All My Trials"/"They Call the Wind Maria") and did a lot of local television, moving on to bigger success on the Montreal nightclub circuit. In May 1962, they successfully auditioned for Epic Records in New York, their name changing at this point to the Halifax Three. This was the first of two Albums recorded in 1963.
After the breakup of the band, Doherty joined The Mugwumps with Cass Elliott and Zal Yanovsky which ultimately lead him into joining the Mamas and the Papas. Doherty died in January 2007 in Mississauga, Ontario
