Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Larry McCray is a new name to me, but I get the feeling that we&#8217;re going to be seeing a lot more of him in the years to come. From what I can tell, he&#8217;s been on the music scene for quite some time, touring extensively and making friends with some of the big names in blues music, so now may be his time to shine. There&#8217;s some great footage online of Larry McCray and his band, including some of his original tunes, some killer covers, and a whole lot of slammin&#8217; guitar playing. This guy is worth the share and I hope to see him live sometime soon!<\/p>\n<p>Larry McCray has performed many places around the globe including a local PBS appearance in Michigan.
