Capitol Center for the Arts (Concord, NH) will host 1970s superband and perennial classic rock favorite AMERICA on Sunday, June 11 at 7:30pm.

Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and 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.

AMERICA'S best-known tunes -- including "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. With Peek's departure from the fold in 1977, Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell rose to the challenge and carried on as a duo. Shifts in sound and direction, changes in producers and managers, and a renewed dedication to the craft of songwriting helped rocket AMERICA to the upper reaches of the pop charts in 1982 with their smash single, "You Can Do Magic." During this tumultuous time in their career, Beckley and Bunnell immersed themselves in their craft, infusing a newfound maturity into their rich body of work.

AMERICA'S audiences have continue to grow throughout the decades. They comprise a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group's enduring appeal.

Tickets for the June 11 performance are $49.50 - $64.50, plus any applicable fees for phone/Internet sales. They can be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the CCA's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
