America (the Band) is one to the iconic bands of the 70’s. They still do show and are coming to San Diego. Come to Humphrey’s by the Bay for the fun. Here is some info from wikipedia:

America is an American folk rock musical band, composed originally of members Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek. The three members were barely past their teenage years when they became a musical sensation during 1972, with their main popularity during the early to mid 1970s and early 1980s. Some of the band’s best known songs are “A Horse with No Name”, “Sister Golden Hair” (both of which reached #1), “Ventura Highway”, “Tin Man”, and “Lonely People”.

Although their music was derided frequently by critics, the band’s singles and albums were very successful commercially. They were popular enough to attract the services of famed Beatles producer George Martin for a series of seven albums. The band survived Peek quitting near its apex long enough to see Beckley and Bunnell return the act to the top 10 as a duo with “You Can Do Magic” in 1982. Touring for almost four decades, America maintains fans and performs over 100 shows per year. On January 16, 2007, America released Here & Now, the band’s first major label studio album in over twenty years.

The Indigo Girls are coming for a show. The fun will be held at Humphrey’s By The Bay in San Diego. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The two women got to know each other as students at Laurel Ridge Elementary School in DeKalb County, Georgia just outside of Decatur, Georgia, but were not friends because Emily was a grade ahead of Amy. While attending Shamrock High School, they grew closer, and started performing together, first as The B-Band and then as Saliers and Ray. Saliers graduated and began attending Tulane University. A year later, Ray graduated and began at Vanderbilt University. Homesick, both returned to Georgia and transferred to Emory University. By 1985 they had begun performing together again, this time as the Indigo Girls. In a March 2007 NPR Talk of the Nation interview, Emily stated “…we needed a name and we went through the dictionary looking for words that struck us and indigo was one.”

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single called “Crazy Game” with the B-side “Everybody’s Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)”. That same year, the Indigo Girls put out a six-track self-titled EP and in 1987, released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including “Crazy Game”. With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present day; they had first approached him when the EP was released, but he told them their songs were “immature” and they were not likely to get a record deal. Strange Fire apparently changed his mind.

Green Day is one of the biggest punk bands of all time. The are coming for a show at the Cox Arena here in San Diego. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. and 15 million worldwide. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively. Green Day’s 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S. The band’s eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, will be released on May 15, 2009.
