I have never seen so many people in the Riverbend...now I know why!! You are the best band I've seen in a very long time!! - MR 

All I can say is what a great & fun evening... had company in town for the weekend and we all were newbies to the One Trick Pony (always heard great things...) - but had no idea what to expect -- LOVED the show!!! Had more fun than at 'name' concerts I've been to -- fantastic talent -- and just the fact that you're having fun, too!! - DM

That was a great New Year's party. Great music. Great dancing. Great people. Two couples who sat with Diane and me had never heard the Tunas. You blew them away. - AC

Awesome job last night at my cousin's wedding!! - SE
This is what i put on my FB status: How often can you be in a bar/restaurant and the band is playing the Hallelujah Chorus and all the patrons are standing to honor the King of Kings!!Lazy Blue Tunas, you guys rock socks!.......Enjoyed the Christmas show last night so much, Merry Christmas to you all! - KV-B
Thanks for the great Christmas show Tunas! You bring so much joy to us with your music!

Thanks Guy's for a great time at The Pony last night. Every time I bring a group
they become instant Tuna Groupers. I must say you guy's were quite
embroytic...........????. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Much love, T & PM

Wow! Wow! I bet you thought I was breaking into a haiku or something. A little dramatic but true.  I want to thank you for last night, It was beyond my expectations. I almost wish I could have taken notes  so that I could have talked with you about  the great playing , unique arrangements, great vocals or simply whatever was the surprise that each song provided. Wow! - DH

I have to tell you that your band sounds awesome and I’m glad we came down to see you. We will do it again! - SK

 HI GUYS-I WAS ONE OF THE NEW FANS IN THE CROWD
LAST NIGHT.  I CAN NOT REMEMBER THE LAST
TIME THAT I ENJOYED A BAND SO MUCH. I WILL SPREAD
THE WORD. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT. WE LOVED THE MUSIC
CHOICES AND YOUR HARMONY IS AWESOME. THERE WERE
ONLY A COUPLE OF SONGS THAT I DID NOT KNOW. I
HAD A GREAT TIME & WILL DEFINITELY LOOK FOR
WHERE YOU ARE PLAYING. THANKS GUYS FOR SUCH A
UNEXPECTED ENJOYABLE NIGHT.  UNTIL NEXT TIME...THANKS AGAIN, D.
 

Guys - we can't thank you enough for your generosity for Saturday. It was a great show and so many people commented on how great you sounded. You are a class act! My heart goes out to all of you! - EH 

We had a great time at the Driftwood,The band was just perfect. We will be looking foward to seeing
you all again. It was the most perfect music filled summer day. D&C
 

Great fun at the B.O.B. last night-we came all the way from Kalamazoo! SD & BG

Great to see you at the GRPS Arts Jam! Thanks for sharing your time and talents for our kids!! - CB

You guys have such an unusual name that my wife and I were curious enough to see you
at the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts.  We loved your show!  Count us as fans;
we'd even pay money to see you (but we won't have to when we see you in Lowell.) -JH

It was great seeing your band last night! The music was excellent! I really enjoyed listening to all of your great songs. There was a full house for the fundraiser for Dave Lemmink. -DV 

Excellent job at Arts Jam on Sunday, Dave! Caught your guys' performance and really enjoyed the song choices as wellas those snazzy harmonies. -JS 

You guys really do "pull people out of themselves" and into the music and put on one hell of a show - I had a great time, thanks.  - TH

It was pure coincidence that we were at the One Trick Pony last Saturday when you were performing. You guys are great! It helps that you sing the songs that guys my age know all the words to. The thing I miss with today's music is the vocal harmonies and you guys do it really well! Consider me a new fan. I'll be checking out your website to see where/when else you play. - RO

The Christmas show at the Pony last night was great. I love the new material and how can you beat ending with Hotel California.  I am NOW in the Christmas mood and can finally start my Christmas shopping.  After three years of pre-Christmas "Tunas" I think this has become a tradition.  I look forward to the Christmas show every year.  - MH

Thursday night at One Trick Pony, you did a great version of Silent Night.  Is that
yours or is it available for other people to use?  If so, where to find it?  The show
was great!  We were the long table to your right (sitting next to the Santa hats). - JA

 Craig and I had an AWESOME time Sat. night!!  We loved the band!!! You were amazing!!!!! - JD 

Thanks for the picture. We look like we really are sober at that point of the night. The Tunas did a great job and I really enjoyed the Beatles set - JL

Tuna's you did a great job at the BOB last night.  We really enjoy your music.
Pete, you really know how to Keep the Customer Satisfied.  You guys ought to do a
couple of CCR tunes.  Maybe we'll see you at the Pony next week. Take care. - PZ

Wow.  You guys were so awesome!  Thanks for making the trip south.  We were thrilled
to have you, and everyone is still talking about what a great party it was.  We owe
it all to the four of you!  Hope to see/hear you again very soon. - LK

 Hey!  Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that we loved the show and we’re looking even more forward to our deck party.  Thanks again for the Tuna hat! - KV

I was the really crazy one out on the dance floor. We had a ball (both my husband and me) and are booked for the Wed. night performance at One Trick Pony. You guys are great. I'm a Tuna groupie for sure. And yes - insurance can be fun! - LH 

Thank you!  You guys were wonderful at the show this weekend.  I appreciate the time
you took to prepare some "new" stuff that fit the venue so perfectly.  And of course
I am always appreciative of your version of They Might Be Giants!  You were a ton of
fun and I have heard lots of great comments about doing something "different from
blues".  So I just wanted you to know that I'm so glad you were able to come.  Thank
you!  - BV

Here's a couple photos from the Tunas show at Wall lake. The day was perfect and you guys sounded great! Everyone is talking annual event. I'll be in touch. We hope to see you at One Trick Pony. Thanks again, DR

Hey Tunas (and Dave if you monitor this site)-
I now consider myself an official Tuna Fan since finally checking out your website!
I really dig it! Love the pictures (hair, poses, etc.) and bios. Looking forward to
seeing you guys perform this Sat. at One Trick.
Until then, MV

Saw you guys on Thursday night.  You sounded great!  This was my second time
seeing you play.  Enjoyed the harmonies very much and spreading the word.  Great
job, guys.... PP

Just got home from the BOB.   Great job.
The 4 of us enjoyed the music and 'bottom rocked'
all night.   Look forward to seeing you at One Trick.
Keep up the good work and we'll keep coming to hear you.  PJ

Hey guys, saw you for the first time Saturday night at One Trick Pony.  We loved your
music.  Do you do private parties?    Anything else you may like to tell
me.  Would love to hear more and invite friends. Mary

Once again we really enjoyed hearing you perform. Our friends now understand why we were so excited to be at the Kirby. Christine and I wish you the best in 2008 and you will see us again soon.

Hey guys, I must've been on another planet because the first time I heard you was
Friday eve, at the GRAM.  You guys are great!  We hope to see you again at
the Pony. Thanks for what you do and the way you do it.  Keep pickin and grinnin! -DV

 Thanks again for getting me back on your list.  I really enjoy your group and it is an inspiration to help me keep motivated to practice and learn.  Your Hotel California was outstanding and Scott seems to be a great addition.  I have only seen one other group do a better job on that song and they have been playing it since they released it in 1976.  Take care and I hope to see you at the Pony. - MH

Hey Tunas!  We saw you at the BOB last night (we were there with Tim H.).  You guys are
awesome!  What a great show you put on!!!  We're definitely putting your future
dates on our calendar!  Thanks for an evening of great music! Shawn & Jim

Gonzo picked the Tunas as one of his 3 picks to see at the 2008 Festival of the Arts, describing the band as..."Consisting of veteran players on the local music scene, the Tunas play familiar acoustic rock with fine musicianship and decent vocals. They cover everything from the Beatles to Badfinger. Prepare to sing along and rock out."

 I saw you for the first time at the festival of the arts. I decided to come see you
because Gonzo picked you as a top 3 must see. he was right. I just wanted to say I
had a great time watching you. Not bad for a bunch of fish.
My daughter 1 years old was dancing the whole time. she loved it too.
Thanks for the great tunes. - SS

Hi wonderful tunas.
We will be right there with you at one trick pony.
We are dragging along as many friends as we can to enjoy the great show!
These are the songs we really love.  We enjoy your web page. Steve

Hey
Just got home from One Trick.  GREAT SHOW!!!!
I am still pumped.   You guys are fantastic. It ended up being a great night just
listening to your music. Just wanted to let you know how great you guys are.   See you again soon. -PB
