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

Featured Speaker: Jessica Dawn Lynch.
Jessica Dawn Lynch (born April 26, 1983), is an American teacher, actress, and former United States Army soldier who served in the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a Private First Class.
On March 23, 2003, she was serving as a unit supply specialist with the 507th Maintenance Company when Iraqi troops ambushed her convoy during the Battle of Nasiriyah; Lynch was seriously injured during the offensive and captured by Iraqi soldiers shortly afterward. Her subsequent recovery by U.S. special operations forces on April 1, 2003, received considerable media coverage as it was the first successful rescue of an American prisoner of war since World War II and the first ever of a woman.
