The research used Google Keyword Planner to analyze search volume data for various music genres across the last 12 months to determine which musical styles Michigan listeners are most interested in exploring. Country music generated 7,225 total searches, placing it at the top of the rankings. The Metro Detroit area is particularly associated with the genre, with the rockabilly sub-genre taking shape throughout the 1950s. Rock music followed in second with 7,168 total searches. The gap between the two genres at the top is small, most likely due to rock music evolving at a similar pace to country. In the 1960s Detroit was a hub for early rock stars, while sub-genres like punk and garage began to take shape through the 80s and 90s. R&B/Soul music ranked third overall with 4,476 total searches.

Michigan's Gateway To The Great Outdoors Is A Scenic Village With Golf Courses And Lakes

Coastal dwellers may think beachy fun is only of the saltwater variety. However, those living lake-adjacent know there's a world of adventure awaiting in the fresh water. For example, you can enjoy sun-drenched days on boats or on the sand at the must-see beaches along the Great Lakes. For another gateway to the scenic lakes and golf courses of Michigan, pay a visit to Rothbury, located about one hour north of Grand Rapids, an artsy city with mini-Chicago vibes. The closest airport is the Muskegon County Airport, which is about 30 minutes from Rothbury, but the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, which is about an hour away, offers more options.
