Michigan loves music. Michigan loves their summer. Put them together and it's pure bliss.

As we head into another Sonic Coast Summer weekend full of musical goodness, our buds over Local Spins offer a great perspective on all of it!

More than 150 communities across the state host summer concerts in parks every night of the week. Local Spins digs into the phenomenon.
