The band Luray was founded by lead singer and banjo player Shannon Carey. They’re based in California, and had a number of appearances in WI as part of a CD release tour. The new album was recorded in Eau Claire, and Shannon’s family has roots in the state. They stopped in to WPR’s Buck studio for some music and conversation with Stephanie Elkins.
