The forecast is 90, everyone’s slowly getting their sun kissed tan, and beaches are bound to open any minute. Sounds to me like summer is making its way! I know it’s barely June and we still have a bit before the season officially starts, but who doesn’t get excited about summer? Seriously…all the adventures, trips and memories. What better way to celebrate the start of summer than with some delicious popsicles and great music! To help get a head start, my fellow Music Designers and I have come up with some sweet flavors and great vibes to help get that perfect summertime vibe.
