The Grammy Award-winning band America will play a concert in Greensburg on Sunday, June 18.

Perhaps best known for their song “A Horse With No Name,” the band is also responsible for the well-known 70s tunes “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Don’t Cross The River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair.”

The bandĢƵ music combines Gerry BeckleyĢƵ melodic pop rock and Dewey BunnellĢƵ use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery, and the late Dan PeekĢƵ more traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.

AmericaĢƵ albums — six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, “History,” hitting more than 4 million in sales — displayed a fuller range of the trioĢƵ talents. 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.

The concert at The Palace Theatre will celebrate the bandĢƵ 50th anniversary, and includes founding members Beckley and Bunnell.
