Find out how the StringRays knew each other before they became a band. Hear how old-time fiddle music is alive and well with innovative bands like the StringsRays. Guitarist Max Newman grew up in Fairbanks going to contradances so it's a treat to hear him bring this dance band here to Alaska Live!

Lori’s love for public broadcasting runs deep. She was raised on Car Talk, Morning Edition, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, and later while studying wildlife biology at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, she realized that if she helped answer phones during the fund drive at KMUW, she could meet and chat with the hosts of locally produced shows.
