Lindsey Buckingham Coming to Des Moines

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation.

His instinct for melody and his singular fingerpicking guitar style are showcased on the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist, beginning with 1981’s Law and Order and continuing through 2021’s Lindsey Buckingham, his first solo release since 2011’s Seeds We SowEntertainment Weekly called the new album “a California pop-rock meditation that draws on his Golden State roots and probes what Buckingham knows best: the intricacies of relationships” and named it one of the year’s 10 best, while Newsweek hailed it for featuring “all the recognizable elements of his sound: melodic hooks, intricate production, multilayered vocals, and shimmering guitar.” Buckingham debuted the new material on a 2021 North American tour, during which Glide praised his live guitar playing as “captivating and flawless.”

Over the last four decades, Buckingham has developed a radical sense of experimentation and an unrivaled savvy as a producer, skills he first honed as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and the musical visionary of Fleetwood Mac, where he wrote and produced several Top Ten hits, including “Go Your Own Way” and “Big Love.” Under Buckingham’s direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time. As a solo artist, Buckingham often plays nearly every instrument himself; his complex arrangements and inventive production choices make his solo work thrilling to experience. In 2020, he appeared on The Killers’ single “Caution” and last year joined Halsey to perform her single “Darling’’ on “Saturday Night Live.” He remains a highly sought-after collaborator, a maverick, and a visionary.

Fail of the Week

Striking an officer, while already in prison for theft, because you were “bored” will get you straight into the Fail of the Week!

This Week in 80’s History!

Time to take a look back at this week in 80’s history!

It was this week in:

1981 – The Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana was viewed by over 700 million people! 

1982 – Jerry “The King” Lawler slapped Andy Kaufman on Late Night with David Letterman. The shocking scene would be a precursor of things to come as one of the first times the lines between fiction and reality were blurred as a pro wrestling angle became mainstream media. 

1983 – National Lampoon’s Vacation premiered in theaters! One of my favorite 80’s comedies, it would go on to gross $61.4 Million at the box office that year and the reason “Holiday Road” by Lindsey Buckingham finds it’s way onto every road trip playlist I make. 

1986 – A Current Affair premiered in syndication and the world was introduced to Maury Povich and tv “news” changed forever.
