"There’s a derelict space station near the edge of the galaxy. It was empty until Fishface Pesco from the Gillyx system opened “The Tavern at the End of the Universe” to serve as a stopover for the assorted nomads wandering in space. Some of them are strangely familiar to us Earthlings! They include antiquated spaceship captains, lost hitchhikers, princesses with wacky haircuts, time-traveling physicians, absent-minded bounty hunters—humans, androids, furry creatures, amphibious types or any combination. They come here to rest, relax or maybe close a shady transaction in a private meeting room. One night, a rowdy crowd gathers to hear the cantina band. The music stops suddenly when a body, spattered with what looks like blood, floats past the viewscreen. Fishface has been killed! He must have been ejected into space from the closest airlock, and no one had access except the people in this room. One of YOU is a murderer!"

Since 2008, Brass Transit has toured North America steadily, dazzling audiences with flawless performances and spectacular attention to detail. Hits like Saturday In the Park, 25 or 6 To 4, If You Leave Me Now, Feelin’ Stronger Every Day, and You’re the Inspiration have left crowds in awe, inspiring multiple standing ovations and comments like: “Spine-Tingling!” “Brought me back to my youth!” and “Perfect in every detail!” Brass Transit goes far beyond just replicating the songs; they embody the music. They recently produced their first (self-titled) album, taking songs by other top rock artists from the seventies and recording them with horns in the Chicago style. A result is a fresh approach to some of the greatest hits of the era. They also recently scored their show for a full symphony orchestra with original arrangements that are truly spellbinding.Yes, those singing angels in the trailer park are packing their festive mullets and will be dashing through the snow just in time for some downhome Christmas cheer!

Tusk perfectly emulates the musicianship and harmonies of the most dynamic band of our 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. Tusk is more than a band; they are a family.
