“The
Faster Horses crowd is dominated by high-spirited and fresh-faced
twentysomethings — college kids on summer break, suburbanites from
Detroit and Grand Rapids, and fans you might very well spot at next
month’s
Jay Z – Justin Timberlake show. This is their scene, and
this music — including fest headliners Bentley, Luke Bryan (Saturday)
and Jason Aldean (Sunday) — is their party soundtrack.” Detroit Free Press (Photo by Scott Legato)
