AKUS on Austin City Limits re-airs this weekend

The next episode of the popular PBS live music series, Austin City Limits, will be a rebroadcast of a performance by Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas. This program, which was recorded in 2005 and debuted last October, also features Kathleen Edwards.

The show is offered to PBS affiliates to run during the week of April 22-28, and the affiliates choose the time and day to run each episode. As the saying goes, be sure to consult your local listings to find out when the show may air in your area.

There is a sneak preview video clip on the ACL site in Real Media format.
