PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER

A few bits of interesting info surfaced today within the Mac camp.

  1. It doesn't look like we'll see Jana Anderson singing backup on any upcoming Stevie solo shows this year, Stevie will have only Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks with her singing back-up.  On future Mac shows Jana will definitely be singing back-up.  Reasons are unknown, but it could be a way of streamlining or paring down.
  2. It looks as if there's some truth to Stevie performing later this summer or early fall.  The Trump Taj-Mahal in Atlantic City is the first listing of a show on August 27th.  This show could be the beginning or the tail end.  Maybe its a summer run of shows, maybe it's a run of shows that stretches into early fall... Who knows.  Numbers of shows and venues she'll be in is still up in the air.  
  3. Also, there were rumours of a Stevie solo cd coming out in June... That rumour has been put to rest by Dave Stewart himself - not that it's up to him to decide the release date, but Dave Stewart has been working with Stevie recently writing new songs and recording, so if anyone has any idea of a time frame for a release, it might be him...  Dave said not June, but maybe this year.
So there's definitely some stuff going on and coming our way...

IS ATLANTIC CITY IN THE CARDS FOR AUGUST?

A cautionary post:

Earlier today a website by the name "CheapAtlanticCity" which looks essentially like a discount hotel room broker that also brokers tickets for concerts and entertainment shows in Atlantic City posted that they have or will have concert tickets for sale for a Stevie Nicks show August 27th. at Trump Taj-Mahal.

If you caught my tweet earlier in the evening I asked if this was bogus or not.. It seems a bit odd and random, but could be the first sign of some east coast shows coming late summer for Stevie. It's still not confirmed as far as ticket availability or sale dates - so until it is take this for what it is - a cautionary post, and let's see if some other shows appear elsewhere in the east to back-up this info. I can't really see Stevie getting it together just for one show across the country from where she's based - but stranger things have happened.
