Welcome to day sixteen of the Summer Music Series! I’m going to let you in on a little secret about me. If a song has clapping in it, it’s almost GUARANTEED that I will fall in love with it. Well, last year, my friend, Nate, sent me Imagine Dragon‘s live version of “It’s Time” and it totally blew my mind.

The clapping, the stomping, the lyrics, the beats, and their voices. Ah. I just love it. Take a listen below.

Since then, I have had a soft spot for these guys and I am stoked about their recent EP, Continued Silence. This four-piece indie rock band is from Las Vegas and aside from their recent EP, they have three other EP’s. Their music is fun and heartfelt and I adore them. They remind me of Capital Cities, The Lumineers, and the Givers.

Here are some of my other favorite songs from Imagine Dragons.

Hope you enjoyed today’s Summer Music Series musician. See you tomorrow for day seventeen!
