We’re excited to welcome Gerry Beckley, renowned co-founder of iconic rock band America, the group responsible for such classics as “Sister Golden Hair,” “Ventura Highway,” and their most famous, “A Horse with No Name.” America recently celebrated 50 years of music making and touring the world, and we wanted to catch up with Gerry to hear what’s on his mind as he reflects on the success they’ve had over the decades. Plus, he shares details relating to his new solo music and upcoming album release, Aurora, an eleven-song album set for release on June 17, 2022, via Blue Élan Records. Beckley’s a charismatic and optimistic artist, and we can’t wait to share our chat with him. Part of Pantheon Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
