Art in America is an American progressive rock band that achieved success in the early 1980s.
Originally called Father, the band's name was changed to 'Art in America' and under this name the group began opening for popular Irish & English pop artists such as U2 and Roxy Music.
However, the band found the pay to play gig situation in Los Angeles to be hostile and disappointing.
The band still records music and loads to many internet sites for free song streaming, as well as album and singles for purchase.
[7][8] In 2011 the band was contacted by producer David Hentschel[9] to finally record a follow-up studio album.
