Imagine being in a bar 23 years ago and a young woman starts to talk about the song Hotel California playing on the jukebox with a middle-aged guy at the bar (who turns out to be one of the original Eagles).
He then proceeds to tell her, his incredible story of his involvement in the Laurel Canyon/California music scene of the 60s and 70s.
This story is told with the performances of the most incredible music of the time period including the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash and Young as well as countless others.
Take this amazing journey on the Road to Hotel California.
The iconic multi-platinum-selling group AMERICA will celebrate their 55th anniversary with a series of tour dates in 2025. 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.
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. 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, displayed a fuller range of the trio's talents than did their singles. AMERICA displayed a flawless blend of disparate genres and styles as wide-open as the great American plains.
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, 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.
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.
