The tribute band Dreams is coming to Genesis Theatre and is bringing the music of famous rock band Fleetwood Mac along for the ride.
The group will perform a concert next Saturday at the Ladner venue.
“We do all of the hits. Whatever we can fit into a show,” says band member and Ladner resident Rachael Chatoor, who performs as Christine McVie.
Chatoor says Dreams has performed across Canada and the U.S. but this show will mark the first time they’ve played in Ladner.
“It’s going to be wonderful fun,” she says.
The band dresses up in full costumes that reflect the ‘70s era version of Fleetwood Mac, notes Tracy Masson, who performs as Stevie Nicks.
She says the band has fun on stage and tries to emulate the Fleetwood Mac members as best they can.
“It takes me back to my youth,” says Masson, talking about why she likes being a part of the tribute band. “It’s all the songs that I loved back then. It’s one of my favourite bands and one of my favourite singers, Stevie Nicks.”
The band’s drummer Todd McGarvey grew up in Tsawwassen, Masson notes.
Music school students from Studio Cloud 30 in Tsawwassen have been invited to perform before the show, Chatoor adds.
The concert is set for Saturday, Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Genesis Theatre, 5005-45th Ave.
