"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
The best songs come from broken hearts.
Sixteen-year-old
Bird Barrett has grown up on the road, singing backup in her family's
bluegrass band, and playing everywhere from Nashville, Tennesee to
Nowhere, Oklahoma. One fateful night, Bird fills in for her dad by
singing lead, and a scout in the audience offers her a spotlight all her
own.
Soon Bird is caught up in a whirlwind of songwriting
meetings, recording sessions, and music video shoots. Her first single
hits the top twenty, and suddenly fans and paparazzi are around every
corner. She's even caught the eye of her longtime crush, fellow roving
musician Adam Dean. With Bird's star on the rise, though, tradition and
ambition collide. Can Bird break out while staying true to her roots?
In a world of glamour and gold records, a young country music star finds her voice.(Blurb via Goodreads)
Expected publication: July 1st 2014
I love books about music! I've never heard of this one, but it sounds so good. Great pick! :)
