America
Sunday, August 6:
America. The power and poignancy of America’s musical imagery catapulted the group to the top of the charts in the 70s. Of America’s albums, six have been certified gold and/or platinum, and their top tunes, which include “A Horse With No Name,” “I Need You”, “Don’t Cross the River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair,” were cornerstones of 1970s Top 40 and FM rock radio. From effects-laden rockers to soul-bearing ballads, America incorporates a flawless blend of disparate genres and styles, as wide open as the great American plains. Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Castle Theater, 1 Cameron Way, Kahului. 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information call (808) 242-7469 or visit http://mauiarts.org.
