Fleetwood Mac isn’t just a band—it’s a universe. It’s tangled harmonies and velvet shadows, it’s heartbreak and witchy mystique, it’s the sound of love breaking and mending itself again in real time. Seeing a band try to capture that is one thing. Seeing a band succeed is something else entirely. On May 31st at The Glove Theatre, Little Lies didn’t just pay tribute to Fleetwood Mac—they honored them, elevated them, and reminded us why we’ve been singing these songs for decades.

This wasn’t just another cover band gig. The Glove was completely sold out—again. Every time Little Lies plays there, the seats are filled and the energy is electric. It’s no surprise they’re already booked for next year. And believe me, you’re going to want to be there.

From the moment they took the stage, it was clear this group came not just to perform, but to channel the spirit of Fleetwood Mac. Sarah Achorn, embodying Stevie Nicks, was nothing short of ethereal. She moved with that same haunted grace, wrapped in mystery, power, and velvet. Her voice was a portal—raw and soaring—and her presence was magnetic. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She doesn’t imitate Stevie—she understands her. She brings the goddess energy forward in a way that leaves you stunned and grateful.

On the other side of the stage, Avery Markel brought Christine McVie’s elegance and heart into the spotlight. She sang with the kind of ease that only comes from truly knowing the music. Her voice was captivating—warm and velvety—and she carried herself with the same quiet strength and beauty Christine was known for. It was grace in motion.

Guitarist Jake Harris brought the grit and groove with vocals and playing that were, plain and simple, top notch. He looked like he was having the best night of his life, and that kind of joy is contagious. You felt it in every riff and harmony. Chuck Nemitz added depth and soul to the mix with his guitar work—his tone, timing, and emotional expression gave the performance a richness that hit you right in the chest.

Mike Carlucci kept the whole machine moving behind the drum kit—and let me just say, singing lead vocals while drumming is no small feat. Mike made it look easy, never missing a beat, his voice strong and steady as he held the pulse of the band.

David Lockeretz was a joy to watch on keys—groovy, expressive, and totally in the pocket. His parts brought color and movement to the sound, and you could see just how much he was enjoying himself in every measure. And Art Papa—always with that huge smile—delivered funky, flawless bass all night. His playing was rock solid, full of feel, and the perfect backbone for this powerful group.

But great musicianship is only part of what makes a live show special. What really moved me was the heart. This band loves what they do. You can feel it in the way they interact, in the way they pour themselves into each song, and in the way they connect with the crowd. They’re sweet, they’re fiery, they’re locked in—and they bring Fleetwood Mac’s magic into the present with total reverence and joy.

None of it would be possible without the incredible volunteers at The Glove Theatre. These folks show up with heart and hustle, show after show, and it’s because of them that nights like this can happen. Their dedication creates a space where live music thrives and artists can shine.

If you haven’t seen a show at The Glove, what are you even doing? This space is full of history, heart, and serious talent—and when Little Lies comes through, it’s nothing short of spellbinding.
