Get your buffalo chicken dip, cold beer and good friends ready because Superbowl Sunday is coming up soon! Whether you’re rooting for the Patriots or the Seahawks, it’s sure to be a good time. Or maybe you’re not even the biggest football fan and you just enjoy spending time with loved ones and watching the extravagant commercials. No matter, wherever you stand, Night is Alive has some tunes to get you excited! Who ever said that jazz and football can’t go together?
Whenever You Come Around – Janis Siegel, John Di Martino and others
At first, football and jazz seem to be an unlikely pair, just like country and jazz. But alas, this song, from Night is Alive’s country jazz album Cryin in My Whiskey shows that the two genres can indeed be put together to create something new and sensational. Now let’s raise our beers and cheers!
Sideshow – Lonnie Plaxico, Lafayette Harris Jr.
Do you know who is performing at the halftime show this year? Yes, that’s right–it’s going to be Puerto Rican rapper and singer, Bad Bunny! Who knows, maybe the sideshow will even outshine the main show? Listen to this song, from Night is Alive’s album Radiance to get pumped for the sideshow that is sure to be memorable.
Runnin’ Wild – Harry Allen Trio
Cheer on your favorite players this Sunday as they go running wild on the field! Wait, what was that? Another touchdown? Whoo! Let this song carry your team another ten yards down the field. From Night is Alive’s album It Takes 3, this tune has all the frenetic energy of Superbowl Sunday.
Are the audience members doing the wave in the stands? Do they have foam fingers? Other fun spirit wear? Even if you’re not the biggest sports fan, it can still be fun to embrace the community of a gameday. Tailgating is a beloved tradition that brings people together and rallies them for the same team, which celebrates friendly competition. Enjoy this song, from Night is Alive’s album My Ship to get you into the tailgating spirit.
Jitterbug Waltz – WJ3 All-Stars
Touchdown!! And with those last six points, the 2026 Superbowl comes to a close. Are you happy with the winning time? How did your fantasy league perform? No matter the outcome, be sure to shake the hand of the other team and celebrate the day with this upbeat tune from Night is Alive’s album Lovers and Love Songs.
