The Green Room 42 Celebrates Buckingham Nicks With Brad Simmons, Michael Holland And Jon Weber

THE GREEN ROOM 42 Broadway's newest intimate concert venue will present Buckingham Nicks, from Brad Simmons, Michael Holland, and Jon Weber, on Friday, May 3 at 9:30 PM. In this one-night-only event, three of New York City's most in-demand music directors will reinterpret and honor the extraordinary artists Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Before they joined Fleetwood Mac, the dynamic duo released one masterpiece self-titled album. Soon after, their luscious hit songs ( Rhiannon, Monday Morning, Landslide, and Don't Let Me Down Again ) were in heavy radio rotation. And then, the Rumours album gave us Dreams, Go Your Own Way, I Don't Want To Know, and The Chain.

He has performed alongside Broadway powerhouses Tonya Pinkins, Beth Leavel, Alice Ripley, Carolee Carmello, Donna McKechnie and recording artists Sandi Patty and The B-52's Kate Pierson. Brad currently serves as MD for the weekly The Lineup with Susie Mosher at Birdland Theater. His production credits include Lysistrata Jones; Mr & Mrs Fitch with John Lithgow; Me and the Girls with Alan Cumming; Hood: The Robin Hood Musical Adventure; To Wong Foo, and the musical film Hello Again with Audra McDonald, Martha Plimpton, and Cheyenne Jackson.
