Interesting question - Donna Lee actually does both female lead vocals. This is one of those fine points of distinction - we aren't Fleetwood Mac impersonators, we are a "tribute band". We play thier music but we don't try to "be" them. Donna Lee's stage outfits are patterned after Stevie Nicks but she sings both vocal parts. Similarly, our lead male vocalist, Kyle Ray doesn't play guitar, our lead guitarist does sing a couple songs - Blue Letter in saturday's upcoming show - but isn't the lead. Our keyboard player is a huge Christie fan but he doesn't have the look.....
Our approach comes from listening to their recordings but also a lot of time studying youtube videos to see how they have approached things live. It's kind of weird - this is one of the most rewarding and best sounding bands I've played with and I've worked professionally in music for over 30 years. I've found that Fleetwood Mac fans are just as dedicated and more fun than Grateful Dead fans (sorry deadheads...) - maybe I just prefer leather and lace to tie dye......
