(NEWTON, NJ) -- Tusk is the number one Tribute to Fleetwood Mac in the world, bar none.  No fancy tricks, no gimmicks, just five musicians recreating the music of Fleetwood Mac to perfection with note for note renditions that no other Fleetwood Mac tribute on the touring scene today can come close to duplicating. See for yourself when the band performs at The Newton Theatre on Friday, February 24, 2023 at 8:00pm.

Tusk covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The five seasoned, well-respected musicians comprising Tusk have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in cover bands, for over 25 years.

It seemed only fitting that they should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years. Authentic-sounding and always respectful, Tusk leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved, top-selling bands.

Reserved seating ranges from $39-$54. Additional fees may apply.  Tickets are available for purchase online as of October 28, 2022 at 10:00am. 

Tusk includes Kathy Phillips (Vocals), Kim Williams (Vocals, Keys), Scott McDonald (Guitar, Vocals), Tom Nelson (Drums), and Randy Artiglere (Bass).

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.

The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
