Early Fleetwood Mac is the honored group of the week on Fringe Toast. The critically acclaimed yet seldom heard "Future Games" LP emerged as a deep track FM album in 1971. In those days, the group was not well-known. This album marks the beginning of the Christine McVie era (Stevie Nicks came later). John McVie plays bass, Christine on keyboards, Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan on guitars and vocals, and of course Mick Fleetwood on drums. You will hear an extended 20 minute set including tracks, "Future Games", "Sands of Time", and "Woman of a Thousand Years."

From the same time period, you'll hear the group, Love, and It's a Beautiful Day with David and Linda LaFlamme who will play "Don and Dewey" and "Girl with No Eyes". Ah, sweet memories of spring days, frisbee tossing, and student protests. World in transformation....

Later, Seattle-based band, Green Pajamas, conjures up flavors of Tom Petty and the Beatles among their own uniquely creative riffs from the CD, "Box of Secrets". During a set to honor female singer-songwriters, we will hear Beth Orton, Sally Ellyson from the NYC band, Hem, K.T. Tunstall, and Ellis (who performed at Paradiso last weekend). Interspersed throughout the evening, we will be visited by international artists including Zingaia, S-Tone Inc., Luka Bloom, Air, John Mayer and more....

This evening may encourage a double-cup-of-tea and visions of warm toes roasting near an open fire. Certainly your heart will feel the tingling, tangling massage of wonderfully lyrical and melodious sounds.
