“Music connects with the soul. I think it's the quickest art form to the soul."

Chris Tomlin

Several Main Street and downtown associations are hosting live music events in the coming weeks. Mineola offers Music in May every Thursday; 

Denison kicks off Music on Main May 27; Rockwall begins its summer-long San Jacinto Plaza Music Series this month, and the Marshall Regional Arts Council continues its music series — Boogie on the Bricks — every third Saturday.

Whatever your musical interests, don't miss a beat with County Line Magazine's online resources. Read the new May/June eEdition and visit our Live Music page and calendar to stay posted on music and other cultural events happening in the region. — Lisa Tang
