BIO:

The iconic multi-platinum-selling group AMERICA will celebrate their 55th anniversary
with a series of tour dates in 2025. Billed as “Encore Tour 2025,” it launches March 7
in Atlantic City, NJ and will continue throughout the year, with many more shows to be
added coast to coast. Known for their timeless magic and powerful performances, the
Grammy Award-winning perennial classic-rock favorite will draw on their deep catalog of
hits including signature song “A Horse With No Name,” a Number One hit on
Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1972. 


On their way to becoming a global household name, AMERICA's journey found the
m
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 melodic pop rock and folk-jazz
elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well
with other 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."


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 the band and many others
into a dynamic cultural history of AMERICA, the band, and America, the nation. Billy
Bob Thornton wrote the foreword.


As further testament to the band’s staying power and influence, AMERICA’s recordings
have been licensed for a multitude of placements in films (including American Hustle,
The Nice Guys, The Last Unicorn and Girl Most Likely), television shows (among them
The Sopranos, Friends, Breaking Bad and Saturday Night Live) and video games
(including Grand Theft Auto). See their Soundtrack credits on IMDB here:

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.
