CHRIS ROBERTS
Aspen’s Chris Roberts dropped his debut EP, Red Feather, earlier this year and we are loving every song on the record. It was hard to choose a favorite for our playlist, but we decided on “Get Down.” The perfect party-on-the-beach tune – “If you ain’t down to get down, you better get on outta here!”
CONWAY SEAVEY
DAVID SHAW
David Shaw – “Got Me Feeling Good”
Front man of the New Orlean’s band, The Revivalists, has just released his self-titled debut solo album. We would like to add all 12 tracks from this stellar record, but we’ll choose one to keep it fair. For this playlist, we chose “Got Me Feeling Good,” a funky rock tune that will keep you feeling good all summer.
GUY PAUL THIBAULT
Guy Paul Thibault – “Running On Empty”
Nova Scotia singer/songwriter Guy Paul Thibault, released his album, The Road Between, in 2019. Since then, he’s released a string of amazing singles. Several in 2020 and three, so far this year, including “She Can” and “I Don’t Wanna Hurt.” We chose “Running On Empty” for our summer playlist – this rockin’ country tune is a necessity for every summer road trip playlist.
JACK SAVORETTI
Jack Savoretti – “Who’s Hurting Who”
Jack Savoretti is an English acoustic singer, songwriter, and musician. Jack’s most recent album, Singing To Strangers, released in 2019 became his first number one record on the UK’s Albums Chart. The first single off his forthcoming album, “Who’s Hurting Who” with Nile Rodgers is the perfect blend of a danceable pop beat and Jack’s sultry voice. Jack’s new album, Europiana, is set for release on June 24, 2021.

Roger’s latest single “It’s My Time” was “written for those struggling and waiting for a break in life,” according to his website. It’s a great tune to spin while you’re soaking’ up those summer vacation days you earned.
YOU AS WELL
YouAsWell is the brainchild of award-winning singer/songwriter, Charlie John. Charlie writes, produces and mixes his own music and has been touring for years. Charlie’s latest single, “Stupid Me” under his moniker YouAsWell, is a happy, playful, love song that will have you clapping and dancing by the pool this summer!
ZACH PIETRINI
Zach Pietrini (with McKenna Bray) – “Young Love”
Zach and McKenna had tour dates cancelled due to the pandemic, so they booked some studio time in Nashville and began writing and recording music together. Zach went back to Milwaukee and McKenna returned to Memphis, but they continued to write five songs together, which culminated into an EP entitled Modern Love and will be released soon. All five songs are about the complexities of love in today’s world. We chose the upbeat folk rock tune, “Young Love,” for our summer playlist.
