America - 40th Anniversary Tour

In 1970, teenagers Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with early partner, Dan Peek) signed a record deal with Warner Bros Records and started an epic career spanning 40 years that is still as fresh and timeless in 2010 as their first days opening for bands such as Pink Floyd and The Everly Brothers in the early 70s.

In the midst of their fourth decade of music making, AMERICA continues to evolve while remaining a perennial mainstay on the domestic concert circuit and a cornerstone of 70’s Top 40 and FM rock radio. In addition to classics such as "A Horse With No Name", "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Lonely People", "You Can Do Magic" and "Sister Golden Hair," AMERICA is revisiting their roots as writers and artists. The 40th Anniversary show will feature songs reflecting some of their song-writing inspirations as well as showcasing their first album, platinum-selling AMERICA, with a very special acoustic set featuring standards such as "I Need You" and "Three Roses" as well as some never-before-performed deep cuts.

From anonymous horses to fast-moving trains, AMERICA’s extraordinary four-decade musical legacy of consummately crafted pop/rock songs, trademark lush harmonies and evocative lyrical landscapes will never go out of style.
