America and Chicago teaming up for summer tour
America and Chicago are teaming up for a 16-date summer tour, set to kick off on June 10th in Atlanta. This is the first time the legendary acts have toured together. Previously, Chicago has played joint tours with Earth, Wind & Fire and Huey Lewis & The News.
America's co-founder Gerry Beckley says that the band's extended road treks have been pared back slightly over the years: "It's a relative number. We say 100 but this year might really be about 85 or so. And to be honest, that's a lot for us. So you really put it at what you can handle. The hardest part is every part of it but the show. The show is just the release. You get there... and I think that's really a good thing, because you want the show to be the cool part. But I tell you, that contrast has been getting bigger and bigger."
