The Rock & Roll High School Podcast continues its fourth season with a brand-new episode featuring Gerry Beckley, co-founder of the legendary band America. Hosted by two-time Grammy Award-winning producer and music executive Pete Ganbarg, the podcast dives deep into the stories behind some of the greatest artists and music of all time.
In 1970, Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek-three American teenagers living in London-formed the band America, crafting a signature sound rooted in rich three part harmonies with all of the band members contributing to the songwriting. The group's self-titled debut album, released in 1971, skyrocketed to success with the chart-topping hit "A Horse With No Name", and its successful follow up "I Need You." With over 20 studio albums, multiple compilations and live albums, 30 million albums sold worldwide and a Best New Artist Grammy Award in 1973, America remains one of the most iconic bands in rock history. Working with legendary Beatles producer George Martin, America continued to release hit after hit in the 1970's and 80's with even more classics like "Ventura Highway," "Tin Man," "Lonely People," "Daisy Jane," and "Sister Golden Hair."

Fred Hostetler kicks off 2025 with the new single 'Your Mind Is On Vacation'. The classic Mose Allison tune gets a fresh but simple blues-rock arrangement and the lyric "Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime" resonates in this present era of mindless chatter.
Using additional lyrics including "talking trash," Hostetler further describes the displeasure with this type of individual before breaking out of the song entirely and into the comfort of good time rockin' blues, a la his former band, Blue By Nature. The artist turned to northern Indiana musician friends from his youth, Tim Heist on harmonica and Eric Troyer on piano, to create a band feel that would include their bluesroots. This single will be included on Hostetler's forthcoming album 'Blues Back Pages' scheduled for release April 2025. (continue)
