Stevie Nicks Headlines the Santa Barbara Bowl

The Santa Barbara Independent Summer Arts Preview: Pop, Rock, and Jazz: "The ladies continue to rule the scene come August, when singer, songwriter, and all-around icon Stevie Nicks headlines the Santa Barbara Bowl on Wednesday, August 4. It’s rumored the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman is currently working on new material, but we have no doubt she’ll deliver on the classics. (“Dreams,” anyone?)"

LISSIE MAURUS - THE "NEW" STEVIE NICKS...

Lissie Maurus featured here in Classic Rock Magazines Summer 2010 issue has the distinction of being referred to as the "NEW" Stevie Nicks. Not such a bad comparison if you ask me. Personally, I'm not really hearing it... What I do hear is an interesting and unique voice and singing style from which the comparisons to Stevie are surely drawn from.  I really like her music, she's got some killer live videos on youtube that you should check out... She's no doubt a talented girl that possesses a lovely rich soulful voice, but she's no Stevie Nicks - she's herself... Hit the image for the full article.

You can check out some of her tunes on Myspace, or Facebook, or Youtube.

WOLFGANGS VAULT.... VINTAGE FLEETWOOD MAC PHOTOS 75, 77 & 79

A really amazing collection of photos at Wolfgangs Vault in the photo section.  If you've never been to the site, it's a must!   Loads of really vintage photos (which are a little pricey) and live shows to stream from the concert vault - or buy (at a reasonable cost).  And not of only Fleetwood Mac, but pretty much every band to come along since the 60's & 70's. Just a great site all around. You'll learn a lot and hear alot!

I noticed they've added more photos to the site since the last time I visited, which was sometime ago... Fleetwood Mac in New Haven, CT - 1975 & 1979 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Hartford, CT at the Civic Center - 1977.  Here are just a sample... There's more at the site.

Photographer, Joe Sia, captured moments by focusing on the faces of the performers, the crowd, and by giving the background, whether simple or wild, the importance it deserved in defining the artist and event.
