Nicks of Time

Fleetwood Mac’s former heroine Stevie Nicks is still active on the road – the 75-year-old singer-songwriter having booked a series of dates starting in February. But none of those shows announced so far are west of Texas, so perhaps a close approximation will have to do. Diana Grace’s turn as the star of Stevie Nicks Illusion has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to the icon around, full of haunting vocals and indelible melodies as Grace does her best to evoke the whirling wonder. Stevie Nicks Illusion traces Nicks from the early years of the 1970s as she helped turn Fleetwood Mac into a perennial pop music force, and continues through the singer-songwriter’s vast solo catalog. The band boasts guitarist/singer Monty Sommer echoing Lindsey Buckingham, keyboardist/singer Laurie Richardson channeling Christine McVie, drummer Dave Christensen taking on Mick Fleetwood’s role, and Brett Scott laying down the John McVie bass grooves. Is Diana as graceful in leather and lace as the actual songbird Nicks, who is on the edge of 76, or is she over her head dishing second hand news? Head to SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on Friday, January 5, to find out.
