Raleigh, N.C. — It might still be chilly outside, but we are thinking about the beach. And the folks at North Hills are with us. They just released their scheduled for the Midtown Beach Music Series. 

The first show will be the Embers on April 18. 

The series, which is held in the commons area, runs through mid-August.

People usually bring some lawn chairs to stake out their spots, and then get up and dance to the music.
