Starting in the late 1960s in London, high school friends Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek), 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.

Their best-known tunes “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Don’t Cross The River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair” were cornerstones of 1970s Top 40 and FM Rock radio. 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.

In 1979, Doyle laid the foundation for what has become the Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver sound. The makeup of the band has changed many times in the last 38 years, but by integrating each member’s special talents into the group, the Quicksilver sound has not been sacrificed.

Doyle plays mandolin and sings tenor, baritone and lead. Josh Swift plays the resonator guitar and sings bass on the quartets. Joe Dean plays banjo and guitar and occasionally sings lead. Dustin Prytle is the group’s tenor/lead singer and plays the guitar. Eli Johnston, who plays bass, shares lead and tenor vocals with Dustin. Stephen Burwell is on the fiddle.

Since its inception, the Moscow Festival Ballet has completed multiple tours throughout the world to enthusiastic audiences.
