America Band Reignites the Stage with New Tour, Documentary, and Unreleased Music Surprise
In a thrilling year for classic rock enthusiasts, America, the Grammy-winning band that defined the soft rock sound of the 1970s, is making waves once again. Celebrating over five decades of music, the band is currently embarking on their 2025 Encore Tour, a coast-to-coast journey packed with nostalgia, heartfelt performances, and a few surprises that are delighting fans across generations.
Led by founding member Dewey Bunnell, the tour marks a turning point as it’s the first without co-founder Gerry Beckley, who retired from touring in 2024. Yet, the spirit of their signature sound remains strong. Concert-goers have described the shows as “magical,” with updated arrangements of fan favorites like “Tin Man”, “Lonely People”, and “You Can Do Magic”, alongside intimate storytelling moments from the band’s rich past.
What has fans buzzing even more is the surprise announcement that America will be releasing a vault collection of unreleased songs later this year. These recordings—many of which date back to their golden era—will offer a fresh glimpse into the band’s creative process and provide long-time fans with a gift they’ve waited decades to hear.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for the upcoming documentary, “I Need You: 53 Years of The Band America”, which promises a deep dive into their journey, from their early days as expat teenagers in London to their rise as American music icons. Packed with rare footage and personal reflections, the film is being hailed as a must-watch for music lovers.
For fans, 2025 is not just a celebration of the past—it’s a revival. With new performances, unseen music, and powerful storytelling, America proves their legacy is as alive
as ever.
