About
Summer has arrived at The CheckOut!
Join host David Meulemans along with Carolyn Wehner and Kevin Wood on piano for a beach-themed afternoon of communal singing, good vibes, and summertime nostalgia.
We’ll be singing sunny favorites including “Where the Boys Are,” a Beach Boys Medley, and plenty of other songs inspired by sand, surf, sunshine, and summer fun. Whether you’re a lifelong beach bum or just dreaming of a vacation, there’s a song for you.
Costumes are encouraged! Break out your Hawaiian shirts, beach hats, resort wear, flip-flops, swim fins, or your favorite poolside look. Prizes and admiration may be awarded.
We’ll also be joined by a surprise special guest.
No solos. No pressure. Just great songs, cold drinks, and the joy of raising your voice with friends old and new.
