TUSK: The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute will be playing at Peoples Bank Theatre on Friday, September 12 at 8 p.m.

Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute. But of all the Fleetwood Mac tributes playing around the United States today, what exactly sets Tusk apart? Is it more than five skilled professionals with decades of individual musical study, live performance, creative risk, and devotion to the art? Is it more than affection and respect for the Fleetwood Mac experience, an entity that has endured over 50 years of musical and cultural evolution? Is it more than vocal similarities, common physical traits, or good costumes? Few acts would find success in the tribute scene without displaying some or all of these characteristics. So what qualities does Tusk possess that can’t be learned, bought, or created simply from a desire to have them?

Chemistry. Synergy. Intuition.

The history among the five founding members of Tusk goes back more than four decades. Two met while playing Little League baseball, while two others were classmates in every music subject imaginable from middle school band through high school jazz. All five have been playing music with one another over the years in various 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 imperceptible to all but the five musicians onstage, is met with a wink and a nod (and perhaps, an inside joke). Tusk is more than a band; they are a family. Experience the wonder of a Tusk show for yourself.
