GARAGE TO STADIUMS Music History Podcast

Travel back to Northern California of the mid 1960s with a young teenage girl writing poems in her bedroom after enduring countless moves across the country with her family.  Then on to a succession of menial jobs to support herself and her guitarist boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham to a strange twist that catapults her to becoming a mystical, fierce, powerful song writer fronting one of the top bands of the 1970s.  Stevie Nicks has faced serious personal challenges, the kind that could have ended the dreams of many, yet now stands as a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer with over 150 million albums sold.  You'll learn:
  • How Stevie's musician grandfather formed a musical act with a 5-year-old Stevie 
  • How Stevie and Lindsey actually met & the unlikely way they met Fleetwood Mac
  • Her unsuccessful attempt to leave Fleetwood Mac to join another famous band 
  • How one of her biggest hits was given as a gift to her 
  • How she overcame her torturous battle with various addictions
