Rumors are true! Music of Fleetwood Mac comes to GR Symphony stage this weekend

Landslide performs the music of Fleetwood Mac with the Grand Rapids Symphony

Fleetwood Mac was one of the biggest, best-known pop/rock acts of the 1970s and 1980s with two albums, “Rumors” and “Fleetwood Mac,” among Billboard’s Top 200 Albums of All Time. Additionally, “Rumors” spent 31 weeks at the top of the album charts in 1977-78. Only Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and the soundtrack for “West Side Story” spent more weeks at No. 1.

 

Music made famous by Americans Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and Brits Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christie McVie come to DeVos Hall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 22-24 to open the Grand Rapids Symphony’s 2017-18 Fox Motors Pops series. The program “Landslide: A Tribute to the Music of Fleetwood Mach” is at DeVos Performance Hall, 303 Monroe Ave. NW. Shows are at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 22 and 23 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24.

 

Landslide, a sextet of Los Angeles-based musicians, joins the Grand Rapids Pops for the concerts that recall the band’s glory days of the 1970s and 1980s.

 

Principal Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt, who conducted the Grand Rapids Pops in tributes to The Beatles, ABBA and Chicago earlier this year, will be on the podium for songs including Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Don’t Stop Believing and You Make Loving Fun.

 

 

The Grand Rapids Symphony’s six-concert 2017-18 Fox Motors Pops Series includes a full-length screening of the 1951film “An American in Paris” with live music in November; the perennially popular Wolverine World Wide Holiday Pops in December; a night of the Best of Broadway in January; a visit by comedy troupe Second City during LaughFest in March; and a salute to “Star Wars” and the Music of John Williams in May.
