Originally founded by guitarist Peter Green, in London in 1967, Fleetwood Mac evolved into an Anglo-American band that experienced several lineup changes before solidifying with the classic ensemble of Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. With over 120 million records sold worldwide and a discography that includes 18 studio albums and 10 live albums, Fleetwood Mac has earned numerous accolades, including two Grammy Awards, seven Grammy nominations, and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. The band has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and multiple American Music Awards. Its landmark 1977 album, Rumours, remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. 

With a steadfast commitment to excellence in the performing arts—and a belief in music's power to unite—Great American Songbook seeks to celebrate the breadth, depth, and diversity of our remarkable student body, featuring a vibrant array of instrumentation, majors, and creative specializations throughout the Berklee curriculum.
