One of the most iconic rock-and-roll bands to come out of London during the 1970s—Grammy Award-winning “America”—joins Pacific Symphony Pops to rock the house with hot hits, soulful ballads and rock classics.
The perennial folk-country-rock favorite celebrates its 44th anniversary this year with nearly half a century of gold and platinum albums, chart-topping hits and a variety of genre-crossing tunes in its wake.
The band’s surreal, somewhat psychedelic lyrics, which were an anomaly in their genre, helped to define the new California soft-rock sound that grew out of the area’s folk and pop.
Founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell join the orchestra to perform such signature hits as “A Horse with No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” “You Can Do Magic,” “Lonely People,” “Sister Golden Hair,” “Tin Man” and more.
America performs the Symphony’s final concert of the 2013-14 season on Thursday through Saturday, June 12-14, in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $35-$170. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
