The concert is the County’s Celebration of the 50^th Anniversary of Statehood.

AMERICA is led by Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Buckley, who bring back the hits. From their formative years, America has been a band capable of transcending borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a melting pot of divergent cultures, America's audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group's enduring appeal. From anonymous horses to fast-moving trains, America's extraordinary four-decade musical legacy of consummately crafted pop/rock songs, trademark lush harmonies and evocative lyrical landscapes will never go out of style.Bring your chairs and blankets for a concert to remember under the stars.
