More: CNY Teens Promoting Reading Through Rock Music

By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, NY – Three Central New York teenagers are working to raise literacy awareness, through their music.

Connor Strader, Jacob Roundy and Nick Snow of Cicero, all make up the band "Kingsley and the Shacklebolts." They have been playing what they call Wizard Rock, since February of this year. They write songs based on the Harry Potter novels, and perform them in local libraries and book stores.

Paul and Shelley Strader (Parents of Connor) tell WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher about their experiences with their son's band.
