Tusk: Adler Theatre

DAVENPORT, IA – VenuWorks Presents announces one night of Tusk: The Classic Tribute to Fleetwood Mac at the Adler Theatre on Sunday, November 22nd! Playing the hits and deep cuts spanning the career of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group Fleetwood Mac, Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute. Five pro musicians turned into masters of their trade through decades of individual music study, live performance, creative risk, and devotion to the art. Tickets for the Alder Theatre can be purchase in person at the Box Office located at 136 E 3rd Street, Davenport, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM until 5 PM, or online at the official site of the Adler Theatre, davenportlive.com, or at ticketmaster.com. Tickets will start at $39 (plus applicable fees). TUSK features note-perfect renditions of both the solo and full band songs, with each member specializing in one of the core line-up of Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood). They possess an electric stage presence that can only come from well over a decade touring together. Truly the best at what they do, TUSK is unmatched in their tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. Tusk has been criss-crossing the country since 2008 as The Classic 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 turned masters of their trade through decades of individual musical study, live performance, creative risk, and devotion to the art? Is it more than their affection and respect for the Fleetwood Mac experience, an entity that continues to endure over 50 years of musical and cultural evolution? Is it more than vocal similarities, common physical traits, or good costumes? To be sure, one does not fare well 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 relationship among the five founding members of Tusk has a rich history that goes back more than four decades. Two met while playing Little League baseball. Two others met in middle school band and marched in lockstep through high school. All five 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 imperceptible to all but the five musicians sharing the stage, is met with a wink and a nod, and usually an inside joke. Tusk is more than a band; they are a family. Experience the wonder of a Tusk show for yourself.
