SummerFest Features Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band

Growing up in a family of musicians with musical influences around her, Brooke Walton played with the idea of starting a Fleetwood Mac tribute year for many years.

It was after she made an appearance in "Night of a Thousand Stevies" in New York at the Highline Ballroom in 2009 that the idea became reality.

Affectionately called Nightbird, the band consisting of Brooke, who is the spitting image of Stevie Nicks as vocalist; her husband, Adam Walton on guitar; his brother, Jason Phillips on drums; Delong Wolff on bass / vocals and a great "Christine McVie" with Kelli Thompson.


Nightbird made his most recent performance at the Fourth of July festivities in Kings Harbor and is carried out in the SummerFest Humble in Humble Civic Center on Saturday, August 2.

Stoney LaRue was previously scheduled to perform, but the show was canceled due to schedule conflicts and the organizers were interested in bringing local artists to headline the event.

Members of Nightbird are more than excited to play a concert in the humble area and will continue to bring the music of Fleetwood Mac community.

"I come from a musical family," Brooke said. "My parents were really playing music as a duo called" One plus One "around Houston before I was born and I was literally on stage hearing the song 'Dreams', while I was in the womb. Singing I was born.

"I also grew up with my brother who is the drummer in playing Nightbird music. It's a family thing for sure. Wolff has played in several bands over the years including Mean Gene Kelton and recalcitrant. Adam began playing guitar in his early teens with his brother. Trent. Kelli went to school for music gas been in several bands. She also plays guitar. "

When asked to remember what makes his performances more exciting and memorable, Brooke said it was the "experience of seeing so many smiling faces in the crowd, from all walks of life, gathering, meet them and hear how Bird Night of brought back those happy memories in their lives or even touched in some way.

"There are a lot of difficult times in the world right now, and if we can take away from it for a while, then I think we have done our job."

Besides acting f Nightbird, a variety of other musicians will perform and free activities for the whole family throughout the day and a classic car show.
