AKUS at the White House – an inside look

Alison Krauss & Union Station at the White House - Jerry Douglas, Dan Tyminski, Alison Krauss, Barry Bales, Ron BlockWhile at the White House yesterday for their command performance, Ron Block went into tourist mode briefly to snap a few photos for The Bluegrass Blog.

Ron said that their mobility was somewhat restricted, as might be expected, and they were only able to move around in a section of the East Wing.

Still, he was able to grab a few terrrific shots to commemorate their day in DC.
