OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. The Arts, Beats and Eats Festival in Royal Oak may have been canceled because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but organizers are still working to help local artists. A Go Fund Me campaign has launched to support musicians, with Oakland County planning to match every dollar raised. But you cant take t-shirts back, cant take CDs back, so were kind of tied up, said Pauly Brady with Stone Clover Band. The Stone Clover Band will be performing and raising money to help out with costs and bills that have been piling up. Theyre also doing art shows by appointment and sending food trucks into Oakland County neighborhoods.

Singers across the area are coming together this Labor Day weekend to make sure The Beat Goes On. That is the title of the event that is taking place of the Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats and Eats this year. The Beat Goes On will also support musicians who have been hit hard financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are links where people can donate to musicians, like King, who dont have work right now due to the pandemic. Watch the video above to learn all the details about The Beat Goes On.
