  • Hht Kicks Off Season Three with Tribute to Madonna
    PRESS RELEASE – August 5, 2019 Susan Carrier (951) 551-5363 [email protected] STEVIE NICKS TRIBUTE HITS THE STAGE AT HHT On Saturday August 17th, the Historic Hemet Theatre will host a tribute to the iconic Stevie Nicks and the British-American rock band, Fleetwood Mac. During the 1970's, Fleetwood Mac became a music sensation, topping the record chart and winning awards around the world. Their 1978 album, Rumours, became the eighth-highest-selling album in history. As a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, Stevie Nicks has produced over 40 top hits and sold more than 140 million records. This year, she became the first woman ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice (in 1998 with Fleetwood Mac and in 2019 as a solo artist). She has also been named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Top hits by Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks include, "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," "Leather and Lace," "Silver Springs," "Gold Dust Woman," "Talk to Me" and "Seventeen. The L.A. based band, GYPSY, performs a Tribute to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac that is a dynamic rock concert experience. The show includes elaborate costumes and captivating storytelling as well as world-class musicians fronted by the amazing vocals of Lisa McCormick. Even Stevie Nicks has remarked on the similarities between Lisa and herself. This concert replaces the Tribute to Tom Petty that was canceled due to a scheduling conflict. Patrons holding tickets to the Petty concert need to exchange their tickets as soon as possible to ensure availability for this show.

  • MTO 21.1: Hough, Elements of Style in Stevie Nicks
    Volume 21, Number 1, March 2015 Copyright © 2015 Society for Music Theory Elements of Style in Three Demo Recordings by Stevie Nicks Matthew T. Hough NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.15.21.1/mto.15.21.1.hough.php KEYWORDS: rock, pop, harmony, composition, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac ABSTRACT: This article examines demo recordings of three songs by Stevie Nicks in terms of compositional style and in relation to conventions of rock harmony. Sections from two of Nicks’ unreleased solo demo recordings are compared to publicly released versions of the same songs, revealing distinctive stylistic elements and their subsequent normalization. Compositional applications for rock music based on structural and contrapuntal techniques found in these demo recordings are also presented. Received January 2015 Introduction [1.1] Stephanie “Stevie” Nicks (b. 1948 in Phoenix, Arizona) is one of rock’s best known female performers of the last fifty years. Despite her many decades of fame, investigation into Nicks’ work as a composer remains scarce. This is perhaps not due to a lack of interest; her close association with numerous collaborators—most notably, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and other members of the band Fleetwood Mac—often makes pinpointing Nicks’ individual compositional traits difficult. As released to the public, Nicks’ songs invariably contain significant contributions from these collaborators in the form of instrumental or vocal arrangements and production. Recently, examples of Nicks’ unreleased demo recordings have begun to appear on YouTube and various file-sharing sites. In many of these recordings, Nicks is heard singing and playing a keyboard instrument without additional accompaniment.

  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell
    Mike & Marcie Campbell Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Wife Marcie ‘Won’t Back Down for the Animals’ By Melissa Maroff If life mirrors song, Mike Campbell “got lucky babe” when he found his wife Marcie. Before he went on to fame as lead guitarist for one of the world’s greatest rock bands, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Mike met Marcie -- literally because of a dog. It was in 1974 at an LA Halloween party where Marcie brought her dog Medena; Mike mistakenly called Medena “Daisy,” the name of the host’s dog. Marcie had to set him straight -- and the rest as they say, is rock and roll history. “I connected with the dog and then found out the dog came with her,” Mike says. “If it weren’t for the dog, we probably wouldn’t have met.” And for two dog lovers it was “something very good from the get go,” they admit. After 34 years of marriage, the love is still strong, which is evident the minute you see them together. They compliment each other; both have a sense of humor, don’t take themselves too seriously and love their family, which extends to their animal family -- and other animals as well. Mike Campbell has a resume that speaks for itself. In addition to playing on and co- producing Tom Petty and The Heatbreakers albums and co-writing some of their biggest hits, he has also co-penned other classics like Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around (Petty’s duet with Stevie Nicks) and Don Henley’s iconic Boys of Summer, which ranks among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

  • A Band Together. but Who Knew We'd Find As Durable an Application Of
    o R M D EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS IT’s THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HOLDS a band together. But who knew we’d find as durable an application of that maxim as the one exemplified by the history of Fleetwood Mac? & Over the last thirty years, Fleetwood Mac has comprised fifteen musicians shuffled through six major lineups, resulting in endless tin- kerings with tone and genre. Yet the two members to survive it all rarely write tunes and never front the recordings. They’re the beat- keepers - drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John Me Vie. The fact that a rhythm section could sustain a band through thirty years seems all the more amazing considering the traumatic histories of the band’s shifting array o f stage-front stars. Together, their personal lives have given rock one of its most elaborate and juicy plotlines.

Near the top of a winding one-lane road cut into a ruddy hillside, a shady driveway dips beneath a canopy of trees to reveal a spread that—minus the citrus groves—looks more like an English country home than a tropical retreat. Clouds that seem but an arm’s length away cast moody shadows over the homestead, giving the sense that this place is half a world from the sun- lit valley below. Lovely bushes of pink and blue flowers abuzz with bees line the roundabout that lies before the front door. Beyond it, stretching into the trees, a long, manicured lawn awaits a garden party or a game of croquet.

  • Stevie Nicks – Primary Wave Music
    STEVIE NICKS facebook.com/stevienicks instagram.com/stevienicks twitter.com/StevieNicks open.spotify.com/artist/7crPfGd2k81ekOoSqQKWWz en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Nicks stevienicksofficial.com Imageyoutube.com/user/StevieNicks not found or type unknown Of all the singer-songwriters to emerge from the ’70s, few embody the contrast of confidence and vulnerability like Stevie Nicks. Born in Arizona, where she learned country duets with her grandfather as a child, Nicks (along with her then-partner, singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham) went on to help transform Fleetwood Mac from a British blues band into one of the most influential pop groups of all time. She brought a sense of softness and sophistication to rock music at a time when it was still primarily considered the province of youth culture. Her best-known turns with Fleetwood Mac—”Rhiannon,” “Dreams,” “Landslide”—proved that pop could be both feminine and powerful, earthbound yet mystical. Nicks helped close the distance between our notions of artist and star–and inspired a generation of women from Madonna and Courtney Love to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé to do the same. For as accessible as they are, Nicks’ songs are also symbolic, even mythological, springing from what seems like a world lurking somewhere beyond our own: Her 1981 solo debut, Bella Donna, mixes a rootsy, unvarnished sound with images of demons, dreams, mountains, and doves—an especially perceptive blend for an era when spirituality and self-realization were creeping into the mainstream. Ultimately, though, it’s Nicks’ connection to—and evocation of—the dualities and subtleties of womanhood that define her music: “My mission maybe wasn’t to be a mom and wife,” she reflected in an interview with ABC’s Downtown.
