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.
