About America

America, the band, was ironically formed in London in 1970, when Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek, schoolmates and sons of fathers in the US Air Force, began creating music together. Inspired by an Americana jukebox in their mess hall, they adopted the name “America” to distinguish themselves within the local scene, where they got their first gigs playing at UK concert halls.

After connecting with producer Ian Samwell and his partner, Jeff Dexter, they were signed to Kinney Records and assigned to the UK Warner Bros. label. Their eponymous debut struggled to gain traction at first, but when they played a track called “Desert Song” at the 1972 Harrogate Festival, the audience loved it! Retitled “A Horse with No Name,” it became a global sensation.

The group won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist that same year. Their folk-infused soft rock, characterized by harmonious vocals and light acoustic backing, was perfect for the era, and their knack for crafting hits was evident as they churned out several top-ten singles on albums such as Homecoming, Holiday, and Hearts. America's appeal was broad, capturing the hearts of a global audience. 

In 1977, their journey took a turn when Dan Peek departed. Although this shifted the dynamic, transforming a trio into a duo, it did not seem to hinder their stride. Instead, Beckley and Bunnell continued to produce music together. Their legacy has now lasted over 50 years, but they continue to attract massive audiences and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact for many decades to come.

Live Moments That Made Headlines

From intimate venues to grand arenas, America has traveled the world, and each concert has its own story. Still, one thing has remained constant—the connection they forge with fans, like those lucky enough to be in the audience to witness the magic of moments like these:  

• December 20, 1970: America's booked their first big gig at Implosion, a regular Sunday event at the Roundhouse in the Chalk Farm district in London. Opening for icons like The Who and Elton John at this Christmas charity concert, their humble beginnings hinted at great things to come.

• July 24, 1977: At the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, America recorded America Live. Under the baton of Elmer Bernstein and led by producer George Martin, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell began performing as a duo featuring orchestral accompaniment that elevated their classic sound. 

• April 5, 2002: On the home turf of former bandmate Dan Peek, America recorded an impressive acoustic set for their live album, The Grand Cayman Concert. They included stripped-down versions of their hits plus rarely performed selections such as "Wind Wave" and "Pigeon Song.” 

• January 31, 2004: America celebrated 30 years in the entertainment industry with a memorable show at the Sydney Opera House. The setlist, which spanned their entire career, was highlighted by "A Horse with No Name" and "California Dreamin'." The footage was later released on DVD.

• March 25, 2022: During their 50th anniversary tour, America performed to a packed audience at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The timeless relevance of their music is always on display, but at this show, it was their rockin’ rendition of "Sandman" that stunned fans with its intensity.
