When America, the perennial classic-rock favorite, hits the road in 2023,
they'll celebrate their 53rd Anniversary with their powerful performances.
Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate,
the late Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly
harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature
song "A Horse With No Name." America became a global household name and paved
the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first
#1 single. Forty plus years later, these friends are still making music
together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.

America's journey has found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain.
Their best-known tunes, which also include "I Need You," "Ventura Highway,"
"Don't Cross The River," "Tin Man," "Lonely People," and "Sister Golden Hair"
were cornerstones of 1970's Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their
impressive catalog of hits, listeners would discover there was always much more
to America than surface perceptions. The combination of Gerry Beckley's melodic
pop rock and Dewey Bunnell's use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning
rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well with Dan Peek's more
traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.

America's albums--six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest
hits collection, History, hitting four plus million in sales--displayed a fuller
range of the trio's talents than did their singles. Their material encompassed
an ambitious artistic swath; from effects-laden rockers to oddball medleys to
soul-bearing ballads, America displayed a flawless blend of disparate genres and
styles as wide-open as the great American plains.

Enjoying massive success early in their career, America earned their stripes as
musical soldiers on the battlefield amidst the excess, craziness and chaos of
the 70's. The trio won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1972 and began working
with George Martin and Geoff Emerick in 1974. This successful team went on to
record seven albums and several Top Ten hits, including "Tin Man," "Sister
Golden Hair" and "Lonely People."

By the mid-70s, inter-band conflicts combined with an exhaustive touring and
recording schedule exacted its toll on the group. With Peek's departure from the
fold in 1977, Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell rose to the challenge and carried on
as a duo. Shifts in sound and direction, changes in producers and managers, and
a renewed dedication to the craft of songwriting helped rocket America to the
upper reaches of the pop charts in 1982 with their smash single, "You Can Do
Magic." During this tumultuous time in their career, Beckley and Bunnell
immersed themselves in their craft, infusing a newfound maturity into their rich
body of work. Their growth as singers, songwriters and musicians has continued
into the present day as illustrated by landmark releases such as 2000's Highway
3-disc box set, 2002's Holiday Harmony, an album comprised of seasonal classics
and live showcases, 2007's Here & Now, 2009's Live In Concert: Wildwood Springs,
2011's Back Pages, and 2015's Lost And Found and America: Archives Vol. 1.

In 2020, the band released their ultimate 8-disc anniversary box set, Half
Century (America Records), and streamed their concert special America--Live at
the London Palladium for the very first time (it is commercially available as a
DVD and CD). 2020 also saw the release of the book America, the Band, An
Authorized Biography by journalist Jude Warne. She weaves original interviews
with Beckley, Bunnell, and many others into a dynamic cultural history of
America, the band, and America, the nation. Billy Bob Thornton wrote the
foreword.

From their formative years, America has been a band capable of transcending
borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a rainbow of
divergent cultures, America's audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal
legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the
group's enduring appeal. "I think that the ingredients of the America sound are
the basic fundamentals that translate internationally," explains Beckley. "The
Italians are huge fans of dance music, but they also love a ballad--they're
romantic at heart. It's the same in the Far East. A lot of times in these
countries, we see people singing along, and they don't really know what the
words mean. Music is truly the international language."
