This Is What Summer Sounds Like


So it is June, and summer is here. After a winter that had me questioning whether I was living in Narnia, it’s about dang time too. And with summer comes all the things you wait all year long to do: trips to the beach, long drives with the windows down, late nights on the back deck with old friends and a bonfire. In times like these, it is imperative that one have the proper tunes on hand. Here’s my submission for a summer mixtape.
