  I attended the 2007 festival and it was nice. It wasn't a thrill a minute, but there was a nice variety of acts and I like the riverfront park. I'm looking forward to it again this year.

  I've been to "Tunes" several times and it was a "Winner" every time. The sound quality outside under the tent leaves a little to be desired, but the "Live" quality way more than makes up for it. And it's FREE!!! This is a MUST DO for any live-music appreciator!!! Grab lunch at the U-M-F Pavilion, relax, and enjoy! Collapse
