America is a perennial classic-rock favorite that formed in 1970 and continues to deliver their timeless songs with powerful performances. They’ve now set their sights on the “The Happy Trails Tour 2026,” following last year’s 55th anniversary tour with acclaimed shows across the country.

America's journey has found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain. Their best-known tunes, which also include A Horse With No Name, I Need You, Ventura Highway, Don't Cross The River, Tin Man, Lonely People, Sister Golden Hair, Sandman, and You Can Do Magic were cornerstones of 1970s Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their impressive catalog of hits, listeners discover there is much more to America than surface perceptions.

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 offirst, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group's enduring appeal. 

The band is also the subject of a new documentary, I Need You: 53 Years Of The Band America. The documentary takes audiences backstage as Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell privately say goodbye to a lifetime together on the road. Beckley remains an active member of the band but retired only from touring in 2024, while America continues to tour with Bunnell at the helm. In addition to the America tour, the documentary is making the rounds at film festivals this year after winning the Audience Award at Newport Beach Film Festival for “Best Music Film.”
