The Companion Group’s Summer BBQ Playlist


Summer is almost here, and that means spending time outdoors, relaxing in the backyard, at a park or by the pool, grilling a delicious meal – and listening to some good tunes. To kick off the season, we put together a BBQ playlist with music recommended by our colleagues at the Companion Group. We were excited to hear from every department, from sales to import to creative and more. Looks like most of us are music lovers who could use a SoundBeam™ Grill Light with Bluetooth® Speaker at our next cookout.

Our playlist includes some pop favorites like “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus as well as classics like “Summertime” by Sam Cooke and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. We’re also featuring topical songs such as Kishi Bashi’s “The Ballad of Mr. Steak” which is about a magical, dancing steak. “Every other meal paled in his shadow” the singer says. Rapper Nelly riffs on “grillz” in one song we had to include even if he’s referring to the fashion statement rather than what we all use to make amazing food. After we got an enthusiastic recommendation for global chart-topper “Despacito,” we even discovered that we have a Belieber in our midst (that’s shorthand for fans of pop singer Justin Bieber). We all have our guilty pleasures, don’t we?

The SoundBeam™ Grill Light with Bluetooth® Speaker is part of our CC Sync ™ line of tech-friendly products for the backyard. Its dual function as both a grill light and a speaker means you can keep an eye on your food and be DJ all from the same product. The CC Sync ™ line also includes the Q-Tech™ Bluetooth® Thermometer, and there are plans to add more smart products down the road!

Check out our curated list below and put together your own summer playlist as the season draws near.
