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 twenty-five 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.

Biking in the Blackstone Valley is more than recreation – Join us and learn about Rhode Island's historic Blackstone River Valley. Residents and visitors can enjoy a fun and relaxing way to experience the heritage, culture, nature and recreation of the Valley, with Blackstone Valley Leisurely Bicycle Tours.
This tour lasts 4 hours, but no need to worry – we ride at a very leisurely pace, stop often and is appropriate for all fitness levels. We peddle through four Blackstone Valley communities and talk about the history, culture, manufacturing and little known facts and stories while riding through charming back streets and the Blackstone Valley Bikepath.
Participants have only three requirements: bring your own bicycle, your own bike helmet and know how to ride.
Space is limited to keep groups small. We require reservations in advance. Alternatively, you can turn up at our meeting point and take your chances.

Oh What a Night by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons Experience

OH WHAT A NIGHT! will deliver a night that you will always remember!
http://www.stadiumtheatre.com/Event/342
While the smash hit Jersey Boys is a scripted musical biography of The Four Seasons, Oh What a Night! is a loving concert and tribute, which features all the original hits as well as several top 10 releases that are not in the Broadway Tony award-winning musical.
The cast of Oh What a Night! will entertain you with informative and often hilarious banter, but they will not try to impersonate Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Instead, Oh What a Night will focus all of their energy into recreating the hits of The Four Seasons with such accuracy that you won't believe your ears! The end result of this unique approach is a show that is as fresh and relevant today as it is nostalgic for the purists. You will get to know and love the four dynamic talented cast members, and you will cheer louder and louder with each exciting song they perform!
This exhilarating musical revue has been thrilling audiences with great choreography, boundless energy, humor and of course, instantly recognizable classic pop songs!
