Acton is tuning up for a night of classic hits with two of Canada’s premier tribute bands, as Fleetwood Nicks and Practically Petty hit the stage at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 197 on Thursday, October 24, 2024.
Toronto-based Fleetwood Nicks takes audiences on a journey through a classic setlist of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks' solo hits, and the songstress’ mid-1980s collaborations with rocker Tom Petty.
Anna Leeming, the artist behind Fleetwood Nicks, has been described as a “dead ringer for the young Stevie”, and captures the mystique and charm of the performer with passion and authenticity.
Songs like “Dreams,” from the 1977 Fleetwood Mac album Rumours, and “Edge of Seventeen” from Nicks’ 1981 release Bella Donna cemented her atop the list of iconic rock stars.
Erin Lasky, portraying Christine McVie, adds another layer to the Fleetwood Nicks experience. Her rendition of “Songbird” has been a mainstay on the band’s setlist, and displays Lasky’s talents as a vocalist.
Since 2009, Practically Petty has been bringing audiences the classic sounds of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Every Practically Petty concert is a tribute to the late singer, and the band prides itself on their authentic recreation of the Heartbreakers’ legendary music.
They’ve even outfitted themselves with replicas of the same instruments the Heartbreakers used during their massive run of rock hits from the late seventies into the mid-nineties.
Practically Petty’s extensive song catalogue includes all of the singer’s hits with the Heartbreakers, as well as his solo work and side projects, like Traveling Wilburys.
The doors will swing open at 6:45 PM, with the music beginning at 7:30 PM.
Beyond the music, this concert serves a great cause, and raises awareness of one of Canada’s most important groups.
The event is a fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, an organization dedicated to saving and improving lives of those affected by cancer.
