Harry and the Potters and The Tour of the Libraries

If you are like me, you are anxiously awaiting the release of the new Harry Potter book, the new Harry Potter movie, sexy Hermione Halloween costumes, etc. Thankfully, I found Harry and the Potters music gives some much needed relief to the long wait. I found out about this band that writes songs about books from The Zambonis, a band that writes songs about hockey. Though it may sound like a corny bandwagon to jump on, it was only a few years ago that we were all enraptured by a guy who wrote songs about states. Harry and the Potters have announced a lengthy summer tour, taking them across the country playing where else? Libraries! Bring the kids, your library card, and a broom and don't miss this band when they come to the library near you. For a sampling of their tunes visit their myspace page or listen below.
