Road Trip Playlists

The Road Trips Issue wouldn’t be complete without curated playlists for your drives throughout the West. We’ve put together four 12-song playlists for you, totaling nearly three hours of music – perfect timing for trips from Reno to Napa Valley, Portland to Bend or Santa Fe to Gallup.

Playlist #1 features alt-rock/emo throwbacks spanning 1997-2007; Playlist #2 has indie pop/country tracks better for a quieter jam; Playlist #3 includes a selection of artists performing July 15-17 in Whitefish, Montana, at Under the Big Sky Festival; and Playlist #4 showcases 2022 GRAMMY-winning musicians. (Click the links to go the Spotify playlists.)
