As a foundation dedicated to bringing free outdoor concerts to communities across the country, our love for music knows no bounds. On that note, we are excited to share our annual staff-favorites list of 2024!

This year our musical tastes continued to embrace everything from chart-topping hits to emerging underground sounds. Queen Bey reigned supreme, with several tracks from Cowboy Carter appearing on our list, and joining other female superstars including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Karol G, and Billie Eilish. Looking at our top tracks, you’ll also see electronic dance anthems, indie rock bangers, infectious pop hooks, and everything in between. It’s a playlist as diverse as the communities we serve, with each song representing the unique vibe and personality of our team.

As the year wraps up, we’re excited to share some of the music that made 2024 unforgettable for us. Tracks like these are more than just our favorites—they’re the soundtrack to our work, our creativity, and our journey in building stronger, more vibrant communities. Grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and dive into our Best of 2024 Playlist on Spotify, or listen below!
