Wolf Trap's 2012 Un-Official Summer Playlist

Today's post is from Gerri Sterne, Wolf Trap's Web Communications Intern for Summer 2012

One of the major perks of being a Wolf Trap intern is the opportunity to discover all kinds of new music. Wolf Trap brings in so many artists – who perform in a myriad of genres – that young and old alike can find something to enjoy. My “Wolf Trap Inspired” Spotify playlist began after I attended the Outlaw Roadshow featuring the Counting Crows. One of their special guests, Good Old War, stood out in my mind so much so that I went home and listened to every song of theirs I could access on Spotify. After listening to “Amazing Eyes” over 100 times, I knew that Wolf Trap would have many more great, new (well, new to me) artists on their summer concert schedule that I would fall in love with. I started compiling a playlist of the songs from many of the artists in the lineup as well as using the Spotify radio feature to find more artists with a similar style to the tracks I liked best. From Ingrid Michaelson to Sugar Ray to Barry Manilow, as my playlist grew so did the range of genres I enjoyed listening to. So take a listen, and I hope you enjoy my summer in music!
