Long story short, we had a fantastic night at the Nectar Lounge Friday night, our first Little Lies concert of 2023.

Of course we had a fantastic night. We love this band.

It was, though, a bigger deal this time around. It was the band's tribute to and send-off of Christine McVie who passed away at the end of last November. So the band not only performed their set of Fleetwood Mac classics, they devoted their second set to songs by Christine McVie featuring a Who's Who of local vocalists and one serious guitar shredder.

Molly Sides.

Shaina Shepherd.

Kim West.

Kate Dinsmore.

Jen Ayers.

And Kathy Moore.

Now the first thing that hit us about experiencing all these lead singers, one after the other on the same stage, is that we've had this experience before. It was the Rock Vault show in Las Vegas where lead singers and musicians from various classic rock bands perform songs by their own and other bands of the era. My point, though, is we similarly experienced a number of lead vocalists at that show. We observed how they present themselves and how they engage audiences. We got to compare personalities and styles and how we responded to each of them.

The same was true for us Friday night. Each lead vocalist's talent and skill is beyond question, of course. It's in the how of how they employed their talent and skill on-stage that sets each apart. It was a bit of a Master Class in fronting a rock band.

It was also an incredible and unique experience. And a genuine delight.

The second thing that hit us was how much fun everyone was having up there on stage. How much they genuinely embraced the experience.

This is not a small point, by the way. Because there's a joy in these songs, however classic they are. However much personal chaos produced them way back when. There is joy here. And The Little Lies experienced every last ounce of it.

And because they did...

We did.

And that is a gift, my friends.

The third thing that hit us, the last thing, actually, were the thoughtful moments in service of Christine McVie's memory.

To begin the tribute, Miranda Zickler read the words Stevie Nicks penned to her best friend, McVie, shortly after McVie's death.

In her note, Nicks writes: "one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her and so, I’m singing it to her now. I always knew I would need these words one day.”

The name of the song is "Hallelujah" by the band, Haim. Zickler and fellow Little Lies bandmate, Linzy Collins, then performed the song for the audience at the Nectar Lounge.

The lyrics, as Nicks suggests, are perfection to the moment.

From the third verse:

"I had a best friend but she has come to pass / One I wish I could see now / You always remind me that memories will last / These arms reach out / You were there to protect me like a shield / Long hair, running with me through the field / Everywhere, you’ve been with me all along,”

It was a superbly touching moment, a moment of solace and reflection, a moment of appreciation and remembrance, bringing us together in a public farewell which was then followed by guest vocalist after guest vocalist celebrating the music, songs, and performances of Christine McVie.

It was a big night. An important night. A letting go and a full embrace of a classic rock icon.

A heartfelt celebration.

Brought to life by The Little Lies... their friends on-stage...

And the fans of this music who came down to the Nectar Lounge one night in January to celebrate with them.

😊

become the baddest and sexiest version of you

its time for you to be super unapologetic and conceited, i'm not saying to be a b*tch about everything, but don't say sorry when its not needed, and know your worth. be super exaggerated with your affirmations. you don't need to manifest "average" things. you are not average. i used to think that i could only manifest certain things to a certain extent. for example, if i got my mom to take me on a shopping spree, i'd make myself wait until the next month to get another shopping spree because i thought "well this is all that i can manifest" but CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT MATTER. if you want to be a millionaire, then you literally tell yourself that you are a millionaire. you think that when Kim Kardashian was manifesting her success and fame, that she was being humble and adding limits? do you think that when the most beautiful girls alive were manifesting their beauty, that they were humble and added limits? NO they all went above and beyond with their affirmations. you are FAR from average.

i need you to start thinking in your favor every second of the day. something unfortunate happened? no it didn't, your life is as perfect as perfect can get. no matter what happens, DO NOT WAVER. you ARE the best version of yourself and nobody or anything can take that away from you. no force can stop the fact that you are constantly peaking in every aspect of life. you are god. its time to make it happen and get the life that you deserve.

When last we checked in on The Little Lies, summer was coming to a close as the band members embarked on their own individual projects and gigs for the remainder of the year.

Suffice it to say, the fall and winter months of 2022 were that much colder in the band's absence. And sadly, on November 30, Christine McVie passed away. A major creative force within Fleetwood Mac, she was and is an inspiration within The Little Lies and, for their first performance of 2023, the band's giving a proper Little Lies send-off to this famed musician, wonderful singer/songwriter, classic rock icon... this Friday night, January 27, 9pm at The Nectar Lounge in Fremont.

The band's traditional set will be expanded to include even more songs by Christine McVie that'll be covered by a local Who's Who of guest vocalists including Shaina Shepherd, Molly Sides, Kate Dinsmore, Kim West, and Kathy Moore & Jen Ayers of The Wild Rumours.

Less another Little Lies gig and definitely more an event... we're stoked to see the band again. It's been much, much too long since they dazzled on-stage last:

Miranda Zickler (lead vocals), Andrew Vait (lead vocals,.guitar), Linzy Collins (lead vocals, keys), Harry Wirth III (bass), and Cyra Wirth (drums).

Beyond friday, looks like we’re gonna see the band once again putting on their fun, high octane shows at the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, Taste of Edmonds, and Everett’s Music at the Marina.

First things first, though. If you wanna experience the band’s upcoming show A Tribue to Christine McVie, just click right here.

Hope to see you there!
