A collaborative Columbia Spotify playlist

Spotify Columbia Community Playlist

Spotify Columbia Community Playlist

When I picture a fall day in Soda City, I think about hanging out at Willy-B, tailgate in full swing + jamming to my favorite tunes. 🎶

If you know me, you know that I’m always given the responsibility of creating the playlist for any roadtrip, party, tailgate, etc. – and my newest playlist task: a South Carolina/Columbia-themed collaborative playlist that will give you a taste of what locals are listening to – whether they’re songs that bring back COLA memories or were created by Columbia locals.

In this playlist you will be able to add your own go-to jams + see some of COLAtoday’s personal favorites such as:

🎵 “Sweet Carolina” Julie Roberts

🎵 “Wagon Wheel” by Darius Rucker
🎵 “Carolina” by Corey Smith
🎵 “Hold My Hand” by Hootie and the Blowfish
🎵 “Rose Quartz” by Toro y Moi
🎵 “She’s Carolina” by Cody Webb

Now it’s your turn. Simply create a free Spotify account (if you haven’t already), open the collaborative playlist, add the playlist to your library + add songs that make you think of Columbia – whether that be the city in general, a person/relationship here, songs by local artists, or just a great memory. *Note: Please try to keep your song choices non-explicit.

Once you’ve added your faves, enjoy this little piece of the South on road trips, tailgating, floating down the river or during a bike ride through the city.
