AMERICA: BRING ON THE ‘HOLIDAY HARMONY’ THANKSGIVING WEEK AS PART OF THE ICONIC GROUP’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY

The 14-track self-released recording, due out Tuesday, November 23, contains a newly recorded bonus track “Holly Jolly Christmas” that didn’t appear on the Andrew Gold-produced album when it was originally released in 2002.   

BECKLEY and BUNNELL bring the classic AMERICA sound–a mix of pop and folk with subtle jazz and Latin touches–to HOLIDAY HARMONY. They merge such holiday standards as “Winter Wonderland,” “Let It Snow” and “Silver Bells” with three holiday originals: “A Christmas To Remember,” “Winter Holidays” and “Christmas In California,” which BUNNELL co-wrote with Gold.  

Now celebrating their 40th anniversary,  the Grammy-winning AMERICA are as active as ever, regularly performing over 100 live shows a year. They’re now on tour in Australia with Brian Wilson, Chicago and Peter Frampton, a trek which brings some of the best-selling artists in pop music history onto the same stage for an unforgettable evening. AMERICA plans to tour extensively in 2011, with dates beginning in February, and release a new album (TBA).
