You know summer has begun when you have good ole' Luke Bryan serenading you through the radio in your car with the windows down and sweet summer air filling up your car. Then your mega ticket comes in the mail and you are so ready to tailgate and attend all of your favorite country concerts weekend after weekend for an entire summer.

1. Country Music is the perfect beach music.

Zac Brown Band has the right idea, who doesn't love their toes in the water and asses in the sand? Summer is a time to take a break, be care free and have a little fun whether you are somewhere tropical or on a dirt road, country music will always provide the perfect summer jam.

2. Brad Paisley proves that some water and a hot summer day is all you need to have fun.

Key ingredients to a fun summer in Brad Paisley's eyes are an inner tube and a river bank and he is not wrong. You don't need a yacht though it would be nice, but some friends and a river to jump into to with Brad, Kenney, and Tim on the track.

3. Out Door Concerts and Tailgates.

Most country artist encourage their fans to drink beer and since college football season is over most of us are missing our much loved tailgates. Thankfully country music saves us and provides us with good feelin' tunes to listen to while we are tailgating on the back of our trucks enjoying memorable summer nights.

4. Country Songs tend to be your summer anthem.

Whether it is Sam Hunt asking to take your time, or Luke Bryan wanting to Play it Again and the many other artists and their great hits, you can always count on country music to accompany on any summer drive or bonfire. Not only are you constantly listening to country music in the summer, but you quickly realize it describes your summer.

5. Hot summer days and Hot country Boys

There is no denying it, there is nothing hotter than a good ole' country boy singing to you in a white t-shirt and holding a guitar. Luckily country music has provided us with sweet country boys to dream about and hope that one day they will be singing those love songs we listened to over and over again in the summer to us. So in conclusion thank you country music.
