Eddie Money
May 26 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre ( Clarkston )
I can ’ t think of many things that top DTE . Every year , Michigan native Eddie Mahoney , better known as Eddie Money , kicks off the summer at DTE . It is quite a popular occasion around the Brother Rice community . Is it the tickets on the lawn that go for only $ 6 ? Or is it the great songs like “ Take Me Home Tonight ” and “ Two Tickets to Paradise ”? One may never know . One thing we do know is that the 68-year-old singer-songwriter brings the house down every year at DTE and is a great tradition to start summer .

J . Cole
July 23 at The Palace ( Auburn Hills )
Although J . Cole ’ s album , “ 4 Your Eyez Only ,” didn ’ t necessarily live up to all the hype it was receiving prior to its release , it still has a few great songs that he will most likely perform incredibly while on stage .

excitement . His Presidency should be one to remember .
The two Vice Presidents also strongly resemble what Brother Rice is about through the examples they set every day . Denha is someone whom underclassmen can come to if they need any help or if they just need someone to talk to . He has an amazing personality , and the newly earned role is sure to fit him very well .
One word to describe Laurencelle is leader . He has shown his talent on the athletic fields and has set a great example

Big Sean
Aug . 6 at Lollapalooza ( Chicago )
Lollapalooza is one of the most anticipated festivals of the year . In addition to big-name artists such as Chance the Rapper and Russ , Big Sean is one of the most talked-about names in the music industry today and will certainly put on a great show for his fans . The Detroit native started his career in 2007 , when Kanye West signed him to his record company , GOOD Music . Since then , it has been nothing but success for the 29-year-old . His album “ I Decided ,” released in February , has been a big success , and songs like “ Bounce Back ” and “ Moves ” are two of the top songs of the year . Big Sean will perform in front of one of the largest crowds at the festival , and he will certainly give the fans what they paid for . -Sante Dybowski
