America<\/a> has announced a 50th anniversary world tour. The soft rock group will celebrate the anniversary of their 1971 self-titled debut, when Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and the late Dan Peek went to Number One with \u201cA Horse With No Name.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s trek starts this week, kicking off in Brookville, New York, on February 21st. They\u2019ll make stops in major cities \u2014 including New Jersey\u2019s Bergen PAC on February 23rd and the Broward Center for Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale on March 24th \u2014 before heading to Europe in July. The tour will conclude in Germany later that month.<\/p>\n

In a Q&A, the duo discussed their favorite TV and movie scenes where their songs were used. \u201cI loved hearing \u2018Horse With No Name\u2019 being used in an episode of Breaking Bad<\/em> as Walter White was literally driving through the desert,\u201d Beckley said. Bunnell added: \u201cMy personal favorite is an episode of the Sopranos<\/em> where one of the characters was taken out while driving and as the car came crashing to a stop, \u2018Sister Golden Hair<\/a>\u2018 was playing on the car radio. Excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n

A biography of the group, titled America, the Band: An Authorized Biography<\/em>, by Judy Warne will be published on May 15th.<\/p>\n

Tickets are on sale via the band\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n
