Forum: Story Recommendations

Looking for stories where the MC is a musician/plays in a band. Sex etc content doesn't really matter, tho I am a sucker for romance.
I got Opus One by Ryan Sylander and Rewind by Don Lockwood so far, so hit me :D

I think"These Girls Can Play" also qualifies.

I haven't read it, but based on the description, on Finestories there is Fanfare by Lumpy

Cagivagurl has a number of them but not on here.

Here's a pretty good one. https://storiesonline.net/s/72306/lightning-in-a-bottle by https://storiesonline.net/a/Sage_Mullins

Also, https://storiesonline.net/series/1604/country-roads by https://storiesonline.net/a/lumpy is available here. The first 3 stories are premium.

https://storiesonline.net/s/45236/intemperance by https://storiesonline.net/a/Al_Steiner is on the 7th story. He doesn't have it tagged as a series.

2 stories by QHML "Gonna sell the bitches car" and

"Nothing as sexy as a man in a skirt playing the accordion "

Short and bitter sweet, this story by Dag123 may appeal.

Songbirds by Jay Cantrell
https://storiesonline.net/s/60306/songbirds

https://storiesonline.net/s/11746/rockman by Always Raining. One of the Very British authors on SOL.

Wes Boyd has some stories on his site that fit the bill.

If you want Classical music you can't do better than https://storiesonline.net/s/48790/opus-one by Ryan Sylander.

For a story where music is absolutely central, try https://storiesonline.net/s/16034/hatchery-road by ShadowWriter. It re-uses some of the characters from his Perhaps Love but that one has more to do with surfing and supermodels than anything else.

For the story of a Rock band, the first three stories in https://storiesonline.net/universe/1226/the-knotty tell the story of a band called "Mow Cop", it is included as part of a main character's back story.

Stultus has at least two, The names escape me Washing the Godesses Hair? and DRoL? Dark Ravens of the Light? Something about ravens anyway. Oh A train story about getting a singer to Nashville by Christmas.

Good hunting, limab

Good Hunting, limab

https://storiesonline.net/s/21982/no-strings-attached-by-cheryl-terra
A co-authored piece by Cheryl Terra and Bebop3. MC is a music producer.

Spirit Renewed by Heathen57 A rock star is feeling the stress of the road and feels like he is losing the spirit of his music. Through a series of events, he once again finds his center and another surprise.

Then there is the long story where the mmc plays the guitar and becomes (with his partner) Olympic ice dancers (Dance of a Lifetime by Frank Downey)

Did anyone already suggested https://storiesonline.net/series/1454/the-transmogrification-of-jacob-hopkins by Aroslav? That's a do-over in alternative history (with a harem), and the MC new body had played guitar... music may not be seen as exactly central, but is certainly very important to the story.

I remember a story about a former concert pianist who now tunes pianos who meets a young girl who is also a musician,
Turns out his mother used to tutor the girl, and between them they convince him to start preforming with the girl as a duo.

Hey, I just wanna thank y'all for all these amazing answers, def. have enough to read for the next couple month.
Much love,

Rachel by Will Bailey.

Florida Friends by Dual Writer

Although this series has an action/adventure focus, music becomes increasingly important to the characters in the later stories. Here's to memories of the creation of the "Lucky Lady Blues Band".

Wizard's series "The Trailer Park" has music as a major element is later stories, including the main characters going on a road trip to perform at music festivals over the summer. I think that the music elements start around "Third Year" or "Fourth Year," but I can't recall.

Note that: (a) this is a fairly long series, (b) it was posted before the under-14 rule and has lots of sex. and (c) even the series page has the stories out of order. Pay attention to posting date.

Also, at some point after the first story was written, Wizard borrowed a couple of characters from the Wynter series by Russell Hoisington, who was his friend and editor, so the two series have been merged. You can read just the Trailer Park stories without losing too much context:
