Talking Mirage on XPN2 with Charlie Hall of The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society

This weekend brings an encore performance at Johnny Brenda’s by The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society: a group of musicians and Fleetwood Mac aficionados from the Philadelphia region formed two years ago to play Tusk in its entirety. This time out, the group is tackling Mirage, the Mac’s mid-80s album known for its lush harmonies and MTV staples “Hold Me” and “Gypsy.” Tomorrow evening on XPN2, band founder Charlie Hall (the bow-tie clad guy in the lower right who also performs with Jens Lekman, The War on Drugs, Silver Ages, and many others) joins John Vettese on-air during the 5:00 hour. He’ll spin a few choice cuts from Mirage, tell us about his co-conspirators – Patrick Berkery (The Bigger Lovers, Danielson), Birdie Busch, Dave Wayne Daniels (The Captiol Years), Brandon Beaver and Eliza Hardy-Jones (both of Buried Beds) – and talk about an album he feels is vastly overlooked in the Fleetwood Mac canon. Tune in at 5 p.m. this Thursday. Feb. 16 on 88.5 HD-2 here in Philadelphia, or at XPN2.org.
