Congratulations to the McLain Family Band!

Wonderful news for some of our church members!  Union Church members and friends, including Raymond McLain, Ruth McLain Smith, Al White and Alice McLain White are all part of the national award-winning McLain Family Band.

Now, the International Bluegrass Music Association has presented them with the “Distinguished Achievement Award: In recognition of pioneering accomplishments that have fostered bluegrass music’s image and broadened its recognition and accessibility.”

We are so proud of them, and so grateful for the ways they continue to share their musical gifts with us!  Congratulations!

Check out an old concert of them here!  There are some great closeups of Al, Alice, and Ruth.
