Coral Springs, Florida – Music fans in Coral Springs will have the chance to experience some of the most memorable songs from the Eagles and Billy Joel in a completely different way this fall.

Organizers say the concert is open to guests of all ages, making it an option for music lovers, families, and longtime fans of both artists. No specific age restrictions are listed for attendees.
