The twenty-second annual NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES - the largest and most beloved STEVIE NICKS fan event in the
world - returns to New York City's HIGHLINE BALLROOM on May 11. NOTS 22: DREAMS UNWIND was inspired by the
instantly iconic MOONLIGHT (A VAMPIRE'S DREAM) from last year's STEVIE release IN YOUR DREAMS (and its campy,
fanged, gorgeous, owl-heavy video.) The 2012 edition also pays homage to Stevie's many dream-laced songs and
references, most famously the FLEETWOOD MAC opus DREAMS, and the Stevie mantra "Dreams Unwind", borrowed from
RHIANNON.
Already scheduled to perform are show favorites HATTIE HATHAWAY, BELLADONNA (CALIFORNIA), THE HO-HOs, POISON
EVE and DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA, JAZMEN FLOWERS (MISSISSIPPI), AMBER MARTIN, VANGELINE THEATER, harpist MIA
THEODORATUS with LA KONGA RUSSE, GYPSY WILDE, CHARLENE CORAN (COLORADO), MACHINE DAZZLE and DARRELL THORNE of
THE PIXIE HARLOTS, THE DIVINE GRACE, BILLY O and LADY ZOMBIE. ENCHANTRESSES OF CEREMONY will include show
founder CHI CHI VALENTI and the "all-Stevie, all-Fleetwood" DJ roster features NOTS legends CRAIG SPENCER and
SAMMY JO, along with VJ TRE (D.C.) sharing original NICKS multimedia and rare clips for the first hour.
THE JACKIE FACTORY (your producers) are passionate about including at least six new performers or ensembles,
as we did last year. New interpretations will come from THE CRYSTAL ARK (GAVIN RUSSOM and VIVA RUIZ) and five
other 2012 debuts, with the complete bill announced by March 1. If you would like to receive instructions on
how to apply as a debut performer, please drop us an email at events@jackiefactory.com. The producers will be
reviewing submissions through March 1 and notifying all new performer applicants during the first week of
March.

LAST YEAR'S SHOW AND VIDEO FROM STEVIE!
The 21st annual NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES was held at THE HIGHLINE
BALLROOM in New York City on Friday, May 6, 2011. NOTS 21: THE WILD HEART was
a SOLD OUT Victorian heart-flavored edition inspired by one of Stevie's
early albums - THE WILD HEART - and its title song. It was a special
week for STEVIE NICKS fans everywhere, with the debut on May 3 of her
first studio album in a decade, IN YOUR DREAMS. The show opened with a
special surprise from The Goddess herself - a video message to all the
NOTS attendees - watch it here!

NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES is the biggest and best-loved STEVIE NICKS fan event
in the world, one of those great New York City spectacles that sparks travel
from all around the globe. Born in 1991 at the tiny performance venue MOTHER,
"The Night" is now in its 22nd year, even inspiring the 2001 film GYPSY 83. Neither a contest nor a karaoke show, NOTS is the
Stevie celebration ne plus ultra - a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath,
twirling, tambourines and great performance. This much-loved annual has hosted
Stevie fans and celebrated guests and performers including DEBBIE HARRY, BOY GEORGE, COURTNEY
LOVE, CYNDI LAUPER and so many more.
