Tusk, A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac

Tusk emulates the musicianship and harmonies of one of the most dynamic bands of the century, Fleetwood Mac. They have rapidly become the most sought-after Fleetwood Mac tribute, performing all of the classic hits in addition to paying tribute in exacting fashion.

Tusk perfectly creates a hauntingly familiar atmosphere that is sure to have everyone in attendance taking a long journey down memory lane. They capture every essence of Fleetwood Mac, all the energy, the dynamics, the sound, incredible harmonies, musicianship, and all of the mystique.

Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute.

All five members of Tusk have been playing music with one another over the years in various configurations of original bands, jam bands, singer-songwriter circles, and alternative rock groups. Time, trust, and close friendship have cultivated an intimate familiarity with each other’s musical nuances, shaping each performance with such precision that even the slightest variation, virtually invisible to all but the five musicians sharing the stage, is met with a ‘wink and a nod’, and usually an inside joke.

Tickets are $46, with a $1 discount for AAA members.
