“Music speaks what cannot be expressed"
Music is one thing in life that is universal.
Oakland County's concert schedule has been released for the Palace of Auburn Hills, DTE in Clarkston and Meadow Brook in Rochester. To me, that's a huge part, and one of the happiest parts, of summer -- sitting on the lawn with friends and singing at the top of our lungs to our favorite songs. Last year, Backstreet Boys was hands down the most memorable.
Now, here's to the start of your most musical summer yet.
