Stephanie Hunt picked “Welcome to Miami” by Will Smith , which she says has played continuously in her head every summer since 1997. Kristin picked “Smooth” by Santana featuring
the song captures the laid-back, carefree feeling of summer and instantly transports him to a small beach town with a frozen drink in hand. Brilynn chose “Hope It’s Hot Out” by Kyle Clark , a song that reminds her of summer as a whole: feet on the dash, singing until your heart can’t anymore, and warm breezes blowing through your hair. Courtney has had “Victorious” by Panic! At the Disco on repeat lately. She said it is upbeat, energetic, and has the perfect soundtrack-of-summer feeling. Attorney Melanie picked “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears . It was everywhere during the summer of 1985, one of her favorite summers as a teenager … first summer job, first boyfriend, and her first summer cruising downtown as a licensed driver. Attorney Rachel chose “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest , a warm- weather classic that feels easy, happy, and nostalgic. It reminds her of summer nights with the windows down, when everything feels lighter and more carefree. Attorney Stephanie Mehle chose “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus as her summer song because it reminds her of summer breaks in college. We put all of these songs together into our Rinehardt Summer Soundtrack playlist. We hope it brings back a memory, makes you smile, or gives you something fun to play the next time you roll the windows down.
Our Summer Soundtrack
As part of our July “Soundtrack of Summer” theme, we asked our team to share a song that feels like summer to them. The answers were as varied as our team, everything from classic summer throwbacks to country, Christian music, indie pop, 1980s favorites, and songs that simply make you want to drive with the windows down. Hannah chose “Jackie and Wilson” by Hozier , a song that takes her back to June 2015, the summer after graduating from high school. She remembers driving to the LC Pavilion, now KEMBA Live!, with Hozier’s self-titled album playing the whole way. As they pulled up to the venue, they heard his mic check echoing down Neil Avenue. It was one of those perfect, almost- college, post-high-school freedom moments. Carrie picked “Celebration” by Forrest Frank , one of her favorite artists. She said the song has a catchy, joyful vibe and reminds her that every day is a day the Lord created and, therefore, a good day for celebration. Barb’s choice was “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Crofts . She remembers hearing it play from a ride at a summer carnival when she was a child. All these years later, the song still takes her right back to that moment. Faith chose “Do It With Soul” by Solomon Ray , a song she loves listening to on her way to work in the morning, because it instantly puts her in a good mood.
Rob Thomas . It was everywhere during the summer of 1999, which happened to be her last summer as a high school student. Hearing it now brings back memories of driving around with friends, laughing until their sides hurt, and enjoying the simple fun of being young. Alyssa chose “You Proof” by Morgan Wallen . She saw him in concert at Ohio State two summers ago and said it was the best concert she has ever been to: great music, great energy, and a great summer memory. Suzanna’s current summer playlist pick is “Saturday Sun” by Vance Joy . She said it’s an upbeat, hopeful song that makes her think of summer road trips with the windows rolled down. It is also part of a playlist she and her sister made for the drive to their annual camping trip. Beth chose “Sideways” by Balu Brigada , describing it as a fun, light song and, as she put it, whose life doesn’t go sideways at times? Aaron picked “Doin’ Time” by Sublime as his favorite summertime song. Beyond the obvious reference to summertime in the lyrics, he said
Windows Down Pressed Picnic Sandwiches These make-ahead sandwiches are perfect for a concert tailgate, picnic, road trip, or easy summer dinner. The best part? They actually get better after a few hours in the fridge.

Layer the meats, cheese, roasted red peppers, greens, and any additional toppings. Season lightly with salt and pepper. 4. Place the top half of the bread back on the sandwich. Wrap the entire loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. 5. Place the wrapped sandwich on a baking sheet and set another baking sheet or heavy pan on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. 6. When ready to serve, unwrap and slice into individual sandwiches.
