Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series to Host Iconic Band Known for Top-40 Hit “Amie” and Other American Classics
NEEDHAM, Mass.—Feb. 3, 2025—On March 8, legendary country-rock band Pure Prairie League, known for American classics like the top-40 hit “Amie”, will headline the Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series’ first 2025 performance. The band will take to the stage at 8 pm Saturday, March 8 at the Needham, Mass. Town Hall.
Pure Prairie League (PPL) continues to build on its rich history as one of country-rock’s pioneering forces. One reviewer recently noted, “PPL’s trademark sound combines sweet memories with edgy contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight-razor.”
The current band includes founding member and innovative pedal steel guitarist John David Call, propulsive drummer and vocalist Scott Thompson, and keyboard master/vocalist Randy Harper and features new members Jared Camic on bass and vocals, plus ace guitarist/vocalist Jeff Zona. The group continues to lead the way for the new generation of country rockers like Keith Urban, Wilco, Nickel Creek and Counting Crows, who cite Pure Prairie League as one of their main influences.

“We are delighted that Pure Prairie League has chosen to perform at the Great Hall Concert Series this year,” said Michael Greis, co-president, The Great Hall Performance Foundation. “The fast pace of ticket sales is a testament to PPL’s place in the hearts of Greater Boston’s country-rock music fans.”
