Luray / Letitia VanSant / Rebekah Todd

Singer/songwriter Shannon Carey decomposes and reconstructs traditional bluegrass into gorgeous songs for her alt-folk band Luray. Unusual, evocative and diverse melodies. sometimes melancholy, sometimes effervescent. always unexpected.

Letitia VanSant's distinctly intimate voice and down-to-earth stage presence are nothing if not utterly sincere, and her intricate melodies deliver simple truths about human nature and society. An avid storyteller, many of her shows become intimate conversations with the audience. Her solo debut album Breakfast Truce, released in 2012, features charming arrangements on the ukulele, banjo, and acoustic guitar, with a sound ranging between traditional old time, soulful bluegrass, roots rock, and warbling indie folk.

As her confidence has grown, VanSant has revealed more of her worldview, issuing thought-provoking challenges to herself and her listeners. Her most recent album, Parts & Labor, reflects on the profits-over-people mentality that exploits working families and the communities in which they live.

Rebekah Todd is a folk/blues artist from the small town of Benson, NC and has been singing since she learned to walk. After pursuing her art degree at East Carolina University, she toured hundreds of shows around the states as a solo artist.

In 2014, Rebekah released her first full length album, "Roots Bury Deep" and played over 130 shows up and down the east coast of the U.S. She recently moved to Wilmington where she has been focusing on writing, painting and conjuring up new lyrics for her next album to be released in late 2016. Rebekah's influences range from Lauryn Hill to Susan Tedeschi allowing her to create smooth melodies dipped in a raspy energy that tends to swallow the crowd whole.
