This is the folk rock band you remember from the 70’s and 80’s with their multitude of hits like “A Horse With No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” “Lonely People,” “Sister Golden Hair,” and “You Can Do Magic,” plus many others.
Featured opening act: Wisconsin native Julie Moffitt
Experience pure American classics from a band that embodied a rich, acoustic base and lush, high tenor harmonies for a signature sound that remains truly remarkable.
Consistently touring for well over three decades, America still maintains a strong following and performs over 100 shows per year. In 2007, America released Here & Now, the band's first major label studio album in over twenty years, featuring their greatest hits live plus 12 brand new songs, including collaborations with Ryan Adams, Ben Kewller, Fountains of Wayne, Smashing Pumpkins and Nada Surf.
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.
