America will be at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas on September 18, 2026.

America formed in London around 1970, when Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek met as teenagers. Their fathers were U.S. Air Force officers stationed in Britain. They initially played acoustic folk-rock and developed the band’s trademark blend of three-part harmonies, acoustic guitars, solt rock and atmospheric songwriting.

Their Big Songs Include – 

“A Horse with No Name” — their breakthrough and probably their signature song. It reached No. 1 in the U.S.

 “I Need You”— beautiful, intimate early America.

“Ventura Highway” — probably the quintessential America song: sunny, dreamy, slightly surreal.

“Don’t Cross the River”

“Tin Man”

“Sister Golden Hair” 

One interesting thing is that ” A Horse with No Name” can sound almost like Neil Young, which led to comparisons at the time. But America developed its own identity through those extraordinarily smooth vocal harmonies.
