Now that we are entering the summer season and the weather has remained at steady warm temperatures recently, I have begun to think about all of the different reasons to have barbecues and other outdoor gatherings over the next few months. When I think of summer barbecues and parties, I think of cold refreshing drinks, delicious grilled food and of course, some good party music to keep the mood festive.
When planning an outdoor party or barbecue, often times, a mix of modern day country music comes to mind. It’s a genre that most of my guests can get behind. It creates a nice relaxing mood overall, mixed with more upbeat dance tunes, at the same time. Perfect for those summertime backyard events!

Ideal Summer Spotify Playlist
In anticipation of the first national barbecue holiday of the season, Memorial Day, I have put together an awesome collection of country music for this month’s Spotify playlist. I tried to choose favorites that most of us have heard and love. Some of them have a patriotic message. Some make you feel like you are on vacation, even when you aren’t. And some just give off that barbecue party vibe. All of them definitely qualify for good, laid back, outdoorsy music!
The list is about 4 hours long, so you can enjoy your outside time, without having to worry about music for a while. Most of the songs are from more recent years. I did throw in a couple of oldies, but goodies as well 😉 Of course, I used the shuffle option for a better music flow.
As with my previous Spotify articles, I am attaching the Spotify list first, for continuous music. That will be followed by the corresponding Youtube video links for your viewing pleasure.
Entertainment Done!
So, hit the play button on the Spotify list. Grab yourself a drink and carry on with your summertime fun and festivities!
