Reprise Superstar Stevie Nicks and Island/IDJMG artist Shelby Lynne have been added to the growing list of marquee events at R&R Convention 2001, slated for June 14-16 at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. Both Nicks and Lynne will perform at the blockbuster Friday morning session that features the keynote speech by former President Bill Clinton and the presentation of the 4th annual R&R Industry Achievement Awards in the national categories.

Nicks, who counts herself as a personal friend of Clinton, performed with Fleetwood Mac at the 42nd President's inaugural ball in 1992. The band's "Don't Stop" was a staple on the Clinton/Gore campaign trail. She currently has two different songs on the R&R charts: "Every Day" is receiving strong airplay at AC and Hot AC while "Planets Of The Universe" vaults to No. 11 on this week's R&R Triple A chart. Reprise Sr. VP/Promotion Phil Costello remarked "Stevie is perhaps the most recognized female voice of the last 25 years. We are thrilled and excited that she is going to perform at R&R Convention 2001. I recently had the pleasure of seeing a preview of what she will do and I was blown away."

Lynne took home the 2001 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her newest song "Killin' Kind" ranks No. 1 Most Added this week at R&R Hot AC. Island Def Jam Music Group Sr. VP/Promotion Ken Lane remarked "We are in love with the artist and in love with her music. The Best New Artist Grammy speaks for itself. This will be the year for Shelby Lynne."
