Set in a dilapidated hotel in the Catskills of New York State during a weekend, statewide, high school music festival, Bellweather Rhapsody examines the lives of young musicians who are at a crossroads in their career. The novel is basically an examination of the lives of musicians, and how and why certain musicians might find success, while others don’t. Well, Kate Racculia’s sophomore novel, Bellweather Rhapsody takes that train of thought and runs with it. Did life just get in the way? Was the promise of a full-time job that actually paid the bills too tempting to resist? Or did they realize that they might not have enough talent to really make it, and decided to do something else? I sometimes wonder what happened to a few of them. As a music writer for PopMatters, I’ve seen a lot of artists and bands come and go. ![]()
