The Lazy Blue Tunas is a four-piece group made up of three acoustic guitarists and an electric bassist, featuring three- and four-part harmonies while covering a variety of material from performers such as The Beatles, The Travelling Wilburys, Bare-Naked Ladies, Eagles, Elvis Costello, Jackson 5, YES, Eric Clapton, U2, Badfinger, Temptations, and The Who. Please don’t mistake the Tunas for an easy-listening folk group - they love to surprise the audience, succeeding in getting the listeners involved and excited about the music.

Now in their 10th year together, the band plays to full houses at a variety of venues, both public and private,  including The One Trick Pony, The BOB, The Kirby House, The Grand Rapids Art Museum, Centennial Country Club, and Meijer Gardens, as well as appearances at GR's Festival of the Arts and downtown's 4th of July fireworks celebration. The Tunas' loyal following of music connoisseurs appreciate the authentic renditions of songs both popular and obscure.

Each of the band members has played extensively in the West Michigan area in a variety of popular bands. On vocals and acoustic guitars are Dave Marsh, Pete Bardolph, and Scott Vander Ark.   Mark VanderKolk also contributes vocals as he holds down the bottom on electric bass.
