Sometimes the only antidote to the blazing heat is the enduring medicine that is a stacked playlist. And maybe some boat drinks in the pool.
We asked our readers for their favorite songs to crank up in the summertime. Then we turned your picks into the summery playlist of your dreams — with a little Tampa Bay flair, of course.
- “Sit on a Beach” by Circus Cowboys (a Tampa Bay band)
- “This is Why I’m Hot” by MIMS
- “Summer Breeze” by Seals and Crofts
I had to add a couple of my personal plays for your listening pleasure. All with Florida — or Gulf Coast — ties.
- “Summer’s End” by John Prine
- “What It Is” by Doechii
- “Mainline Florida” by Eric Clapton
If you prefer to enjoy your music live (same), there’s a wealth of concerts coming to Amalie, MidFlorida, the BayCare Sound, and so many more spots soon. Take a peek.
