Stevie Nicks To Reporters: Fleetwood Mac Will Tour in 2013 - Rehearsals Begin in January

Stevie Nicks prefers writing a song over meeting a handsome prince.

Quotes from the red carpet at last nights Song Writers Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in New York City.

"People ask what is your favorite thing to do in a night? Be in a fantastic studio with a great poem and a piano and a little tape recorder. That is my idea of a great time," Nicks said.

Bette Midler received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award for her skill as a song interpreter, and her friend Stevie Nicks was on hand to perform in her honor.  “It’s fantastic, ’cause Bette and I have been friends for a long time,” Stevie told reporters on the red carpet, “And she chose me to sing one of her songs, and I chose ‘The Rose.’” 

Stevie added that she chose that song because of Midler’s movie of the same name. “I thought that [she] did such an amazing job when she did that movie,” said Stevie.

Stevie also told reporters that Fleetwood Mac will tour in 2013 and will begin rehearsals in January.

REVIEW:
Lindsey Buckingham World Café Live at the Queen 
Wilmington DE, June 11, 2012
By: Jay S. Jacobs

"The set was loose and passionate, fun and frisky, dark and ultimately hopeful.  The show proved that while Lindsey Buckingham is great with a band, he sure as hell doesn't need one.  The small machine was working pretty damned well all by itself."


REVIEW:
Lindsey Buckingham in Concert 
Tarrytown Music Hall June 9th

During his June 9 performance at Tarrytown Music Hall, Lindsey Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac guitarist since 1974, explained that he tries to find a balance between what he calls the “Big Machine” (the multi-million-selling rock group) and the “Small Machine” (his far less lucrative solo career).

That balance was on display, if sometimes precariously, throughout his 13-song, 75-minute solo set, in which Buckingham exchanged guitars with his roadie after every song and used foot pedals to trigger drum loops and other programming that backed his scintillating guitar playing and strong singing.

REVIEW:
Lindsey Buckingham at Lupo’s 5/30
by Tim Nassau

"Serious artists don’t need to be taken seriously, but the older you get the harder it is to remember that. I love Fleetwood Mac and, of all its members, I love Lindsey Buckingham the most: he wrote the best songs, he looks the best."

Force Majeure Events International chief executive Darryl Tombleson said the rodeo show was scheduled to take place inside the Forsyth Barr Stadium on November 17.
