This Saturday night, March 2, the music of an iconic '70s and '80s pop rock band plays again at Zumbrota's State Theatre with “Rumours and Dreams: The Music of Fleetwood Mac.” Tickets are $28 in advance, $30 the day of the show and can be purchased by calling (507) 732-7616. Doors open at 6:30 pm. The show begins at 7:30.
The concert is back by popular demand after filling the vintage theatre a year ago. Singer/songwriter Pamela McNeill has assembled an all-star band to bring the music of Fleetwood Mac to life. Joining her will be Minnesota Music Hall of Famer Mary Jane Alm along with Jeff Engholm, whom State Theatre audiences remember well from Collective Unconscious concerts. Also in the band are Tom Bard, Jay Graf, and Dugan McNeill.
Concert-goers will revel in the group’s hits, including “The Chain,” “Landslide,” “Rhiannon,” and “Don’t Stop (Thinking about Tomorrow).” Some deeper cuts will gratify the most dedicated fans of this British-American rock band.
McNeill’s distinctive “voice of a fiery angel,” lends itself to the music, while the impeccable musicianship of the band and Engholm’s vocals top it off like whipped cream on a sundae.
Fleetwood Mac formed in 1967 in London. Their second album after the incorporation of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham was the 1977 hit “Rumours,” which produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks' song “Dreams,” which was the band's first and only U.S. number one). The album remained at No.1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks. To date the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the ninth highest selling album of all time.
“…McNeill packs one helluva punch. The style is originally home-cooked, countrified rock done to a smoldering turn. The execution is emotive, articulate, full-throated vocals. And a world of stage presence.” – The Pulse of the Twin Cities
The State Theatre is located at 96 East 4th Street in Zumbrota, MN.
