    What Songs Make You Think Summertime?

    It's summertime and we asked the listeners, what songs make them want to put the top down on that car and crank the stereo to 11. We share some of our picks along with the listeners picks that scream summertime. Let's just say some of the picks are interesting, but music hits people in different ways.

Jesse W Jackson ,

Walking on a Crooked Crutch

To misquote Springsteen in his song "Growing Up" I found the key to rock history universe in the engine of a old parked podcast. Sonny and Steven are the cosmic kids and when people say sit down, they stand up!

Marc Alden Taylor ,

Great Chemistry

Great co-hosts one has better taste in music one is ok but together they are on fire.. If you like fun and shenanigans this is the podcast for you

@harigtweets ,

Fan for years w/ no plans to stop!!

I happened upon this podcast just about 4 years ago on a recommendation from another I listen to. I really appreciate the passion Steven & Sonny have for the music of my lifetime but also give some love to the bands still creating new music, many of which I’d never have heard or even given a chance had it not been featured on Growin’ Up Rock! I look forward to what they have to offer in the future!
