BANDS by Jude
An Alphabet Book For Music Lovers
By Jude M. Evans / Illustrated by Chloe Becky
It all started with a simple question one night several years ago. “Why isn’t there an alphabet book with my favorite bands that says where they’re from,” Jude wanted to know. “I don’t know,” said his dad. “We should make one,” replied Jude. There began a years long journey to create this book.
BANDS is the first book from young music fanatic Jude M. Evans. Passionate about music since he was a baby, his love has gone up to 11 since. He frequently attends concerts and music festivals, while his birthday wishlist is annually filled with vinyl records to amplify his growing collection. Jude is happy to bring you his ABC book of awesome bands.
