Funny how the tunes you hear each summer get burned into your memory alongside the good times. If you’ve yet to find the ultimate summer song, perhaps we can help?

The good folks at Whistler.com have thrown together their suggestions for the sounds of summer, with many artists featured in the Whistler Presents: Outdoor Concert Series, those free shindigs held through summer in Whistler Olympic Plaza. Turn it up, and better yet – pop on over to the plaza to see the acts live and have a dance.
