Do you have a favorite among this list of musicians? Or
maybe you love to listen to an artist or group that isn't touring this summer.
Name the artist or group (and song titles if you want to add any of those), and read one or more books somehow related to their name and song titles (if you choose to add those). Get creative! There are no wrong choices :)
