They was right in almost all point of their template, but they miss by few thing...
First is the Context.
First is the Context.
By that, I mean who's there to play the music and listen it. Like Magnolia from Good neighbor, She sign like that to attract mens and money.
In the other hand, if it's a scavenger or a farmer, you want some music to release the stress and that could play with few small instrument. the kind of music you will enjoy after a hard day of work on a string instrument, like a makeshift guitare, a flute, a simple drum or a guimbarde (Jaw harp). Depending to the the accent of those who's signing it, it will probably determine the way they sings and play music, so it could be somewhere around Country music to french Canadian Traditional music (known as Trad or neotrad), passing by Cajun music. To reduce this list, I choose Bluegrass.
It could be well fitting to see the farmers picking up instrument when the twilight fall to sign some bluegrass with others. to represent this, I chose the band The Dead South with the song Boots because it fit well with the idea i have of the music that could pay in the commonwealth. It could also be a band traveling everywhere, from the Capital Wasteland to the Mohave.

Thinking about it, restoring and creating music instrument could be a real challenge, but there is one that everyone have, and it's the voice, so, i'm quite surprise that there is not any acapella signer or a choir. In every region, there is someone to pull up a radio antenna to serve the world with music, but no one try to sign alone? Imagine how a women with an angelic voice could be a leader of a gang or followed by a tamed young Deathclaw. Something like a Celtic chant could be really mesmerizing and that beauty and rarity of it could be something more than valuable.
I chose an interpretation of Emese Vida who sing My Lagan Love from Celtic Woman. The rest is self explanatory.

Third, the Culture.
With all those monster around, maybe, you don't want to be spotted. That could explain why most of the settlement are quiet, but it can work the other way around. Making noise, even if they are only 3, making music like they play for an army could let think to the creature around that they a dangerous menace. Drums can be loud and they're use since the dawn of humanity. So, it could be well fit to have tribes playing them and it's not a far fetch to see them followed with something like a makeshift bagpipe or horn. Playing music to scare the enemy and ward off the bad omen.
Like I herd in LARP event: ''Tonight we rejoice, for there may be no tomorrow''

This could go on so many way, I only touch on only 3 aspect of it. This is why I ask you now, what will be your choice, and what is the story behind.
On that, I say... Later!
