From their beginnings in the mid-’60s in southern Ohio - as a group of friends playing cover tunes - to the present-day unit featuring founding member/innovative pedal steel guitarist John David Call, propulsive drummer/vocalist Scott Thompson, keyboard master/vocalist Randy Harper and featuring new members Jared Camic on bass and vocals, plus ace guitarist/vocalist Jeff Zona, the band continues to embellish the rich history of one of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces for over 50 years. As one reviewer recently wrote: “Pure Prairie League’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.”

They took their name from an obscure 19th century Temperance Union mentioned in the 1939 Erroll Flynn film Dodge City. It seems fitting as Pure Prairie League is a distinctly American band founded in Columbus, Ohio, in the mid-‘60s by a group of friends playing cover songs.
