Carry Illinois is an Austin-based indie-pop band started by singer/guitarist Lizzy Lehman, who grew up a huge fan of ’60s pop. Some of that shows up in Carry Illinois’ sparkling sound, but 2017’s Garage Sale EP is streaked with darker shadows. But this week on My KUTX, Lehman brings the sunshine as our guest DJ, picking songs and artists that have influenced her since she was a kid. Hear My KUTX on Saturday, January 6, 6-7 p.m. or listen anytime at the bottom of the page.
