Mick Fleetwood, co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, is coming to Hawai'i to perform in Waikiki and on Kauai with The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, concert promoter Tom Moffatt announced today.

Performances will be at 8 p.m. April 2 at Level 4 in the Royal Hawaiian Center and 7:30 p.m. on Apirl 3 at the Kaua'i Marriott in the Kauai Ballroom.

The band features a tribute to the original Fleetwood Mac, the all-male blues band that started in 1967. Fleetwood's hand-picked blues quartet includes Rick Vito, former Fleetwood Mac vocalist and lead guitarist; Bass playerLenny Castellanos, and Mark Johnstone, who ties the band together with back-up vocals and keys.

The band released a live recording "Blue Again" in March. The album pays tribute to the Mac's early days, when it drew heavily on American blues music and produced hits such as "Albatross," "Oh Well" and "Black Magic Woman" (which was covered by Santana).

The album also includes fresh new blues tracks like "Looking for Somebody" and "Love that Burns."

Tickets are available at Ticketmaster outlets, 800-745-3000 and www.ticketmaster.com. Reserved seating for the Level 4 show are $45 and $35. For Kauai, advanced ticket prices are $35 and available at Big Kmart, Kauai Music, Progressive Expressions.Jack Wada Electronics & Hanalei Surf.
