TUNE TOWN BRINGS THE PARTY AND THE MUSIC TO
DOWNTOWN DETROIT STREETS -- APRIL 3-5
Local artists to perform throughout
downtown Detroit
districts all weekend
DETROIT,
March 30, 2009 – To enrich the party atmosphere for this
weekend’s expected crowds in Detroit (April 3-5), the
downtown business community is sponsoring Tune Town, a music
festival designed to bring live music directly to the
streets of five of downtown Detroit's most vibrant areas.
Bands and music artists from a variety of genres will bring
the party outside by playing in the streets. More than 90
performances by local bands will be featured at one of five
locations: Campus Martius, Paradise Valley (formerly
Harmonie Park), Hart Plaza, Greektown, and Grand Circus
Park. A complete band schedule is available at
www.DowntownDetroit.com.
Longtime
Detroit radio legend Jim (JJ) Johnson, who graced Detroit’s
airwaves for more than 30 years, will emcee many of the
local musicians playing throughout the Motor City’s
hotspots. He will make rounds at all Tune Town stops and
personally introduce the talented Detroit bands.
Tune Town
locations will open at 11 a.m. on Friday and continue until
midnight. On Saturday, bands will perform from 11 a.m. to
7 p.m. and then from 10 p.m. to midnight. On Sunday, the
music starts up at 11 a.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. at all
locations.
“We have
an incredible lineup of bands from all over Metro Detroit
and as far away as West Michigan,” said Paul Childs, COO of
the Downtown Detroit Partnership. “We believe Tune
Town will raise the party atmosphere downtown and encourage
both local residents and visitors to share in the celebration
during a special weekend in Detroit.”
The Campus
Martius area will house rock bands. On Friday, Red Star
Redemption, The High Strung, Bear Lake, Lucky Brown, Brien
Patrick and more take to the streets. Then over the course
of the next two days more heavy hitters such as Stellar
Drive, Guitar Army, Broadzilla, The Reefermen, Band B, Robin
Horlock, Twin Pigs Nuroksol and more will play at that same
location.
