Despite being ravaged by critics, the frolicking folk sound of '70s hit makers America is far from what Jackson Browne would call "running on empty."
Known for songs such as "A Horse with No Name" and "Sister Golden Hair," founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell have been touring feverishly since the turn of the decade and even released an album titled "Here & Now" in 2007, marking their first major studio release in 20 years.
Sure, their prime has come and passed, but there's something to be said for two guys approaching 60 who can still hit the road and give the fans everything they've come to expect since the beginning. Their audience has aged right along with them and they're going to enjoy every soft rocking minute of it so, before you dismiss them as just another tiresome act clinging to a lost era, consider that many of the bands you like today will find themselves in the same position 10 or 20 years down the road.
Think about it. Will you have the same negativity about your favorite band in 2025 as many people have about America right now?
No matter what anyone says, their sound hasn't faltered one bit and anyone who has attended the last four shows America played in the Western New York area would tell you the same.
Then again, don't take my word for it. Come out to Artpark tonight and see for yourself just how well the music holds up.
After all, it's free.
Show starts at 6:30 p.m.
