Westminster College's Celebrity Series opens its 2014-2015 season with perennial classic rock favorite America Saturday, Oct. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.  The concert is sponsored by the Springfield Restaurant Group.

Founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell rose to the top of the charts with their signature song "A Horse with No Name" and followed it up with a string of hits that includes "Ventura Highway," "Don't Cross the River," "Lonely People" and "Sister Golden Hair."

With six certified gold and/or platinum albums, America's material covers a blend of disparate genres and styles from effects-laden rockers to oddball medleys to soul-bearing ballads.  After nearly 45 years of music-making, the duo's audience extends to first-, second- and third-generation fans, a testament to their enduring appeal.

Tickets, ranging from $35-$55, are available by calling the Celebrity Series box office at (724) 946-7354.  Additional information on this and all of the season's shows is available here.
