NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES
NYC LOVES STEVIE NICKS!
NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES is the biggest and best-loved STEVIE NICKS fan event
in the world. Born in 1990 at the tiny performance venue MOTHER,
"The Night" has run for eighteen years, even inspiring the 2001 film GYPSY 83. Neither a contest nor a karaoke show, NOTS is a
riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great
performance. This much-loved annual has hosted Stevie fans and celebrated guests
including DEBBIE HARRY, BOY GEORGE, COURTNEY LOVE, CYNDI LAUPER and so many
more.
