Rock band America to play at The Palace Theatre next month
The Grammy Award-winning band America will play a concert in Greensburg on Sunday, June 18.
Perhaps best known for their song 鈥淎 Horse With No Name,鈥� the band is also responsible for the well-known 70s tunes聽鈥淚 Need You,鈥� 鈥淰entura Highway,鈥� 鈥淒on鈥檛 Cross The River,鈥� 鈥淭in Man,鈥� 鈥淟onely People,鈥� and 鈥淪ister Golden Hair.鈥�
The band鈥檚 music combines Gerry Beckley鈥檚 melodic pop rock and Dewey Bunnell鈥檚 use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery,聽and the late Dan Peek鈥檚 more traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.
America鈥檚 albums 鈥� six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, 鈥淗istory,鈥� hitting more than 4 million in sales 鈥� displayed a fuller range of the trio鈥檚 talents. 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.
The concert at The Palace Theatre will celebrate the band鈥檚 50th anniversary, and includes founding members Beckley and Bunnell.
