America Announce Australian Tour 2012

America Announce Australian Tour 2012




Written by Al Newstead on 19 July 2012

With America’s 2012 Australian tour fast approaching tickets to all shows across the country are selling incredible fast. Don’t miss your opportunity to catch the celebrated Grammy Award-winning perennial classic rock band featuring founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell.

American first harmonised their way to the top of the charts with a string of legendary hits including ‘A Horse With No Name’, ‘Ventura Highway’, ‘You Can Do Magic’, ‘Tin Man’, ‘Sister Golden Hair’ and a stringload more of hits.

AMERICA albums garnered six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, History, hitting 4 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.

Their recording success stretched throughout the 70s and 80s with the legendary George Martin producing seven of their albums. 42 years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.

Joining the legendary America as special guest at each show is Australian 90s pop sensation Rick Price.
