Greetings from a springlike Sunday in downtown New York City to our beloved Gypsies, performers and friends. Here is more news about NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES 19: SONGS OF RHIANNON, coming on May 1. This year's theme revolves around the "SONGS OF RHIANNON" penned by STEVIE NICKS in her BUCKINGHAM NICKS days, and the legend of the Celtic witch RHIANNON, so central to Stevie's mythology. The box office is now open for this marathon night on the HIGHLINE BALLROOM site, and discount ($20) tickets are also available there for the next two weeks.
Our first confirmed performers span many of the unique and timeless stars that make "The Night" so special, and the search is now on for this year's new discoveries. Returning Legends of Stevie Realness already include NYC Dragstars (and Project Runway supermodels) SHERRY VINE and SWEETIE, AMBER GARBO (Las Vegas), GYPSY WILDE, JAZMEN FLOWERS (Mississippi), CHARLENE CORAN (Colorado), THE DIVINE GRACE, LIZZIE DAVIS (Texas), NOTS starlets HEATHER LITTEER (aka JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION), TIFFANEY of MIRROR IN THE SKY and AMBER RAY, and singer/songwriter ADAM JOSEPH. Show producers CHI CHI VALENTI and HATTIE HATHAWAY will serve as "Enchantresses of Ceremony" and all-Stevie/Fleetwood DJs CRAIG SPENCER, SAMMY JO and POISON EVE will keep the dancefloor twirling between show sets. If you are a new performer who would like to apply to perform at NOTS 19, please email us at events@jackiefactory.com by March 1, and we will send you full instructions on how to apply. We welcome all forms of Stevie homage including vocals, dance performance, lip-synch, musical numbers and performance art, but cannot accomodate full bands.
Our next newsletter will include the RHIANNON-influenced suggested dress code, artwork, and latest confirmed performers, and updates are always available on our NOTS WEBSITE, the NOTS MYSPACE and the ENCHANTED GYPSIES forum on THE MOTHERBOARDS NYC
Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably the best-known STEVIE NICKS fan event in the world, a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This event began at JACKIE 60 nineteen years ago with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. As always, this Enchanted evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the Battle of a Thousand Stevies near morning.
