Ron Block - Featured on New Album
"In 1991, Ron Block joined Alison Krauss and Union Station. While having spent more than 20 years touring as part of Union Station, Ron has received 14 Grammy Awards, 6 IBMA Awards, and a CMA Award for Single of the Year.
Ron's guitar and banjo have been heard on albums by Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton and many others. He was also featured, with Krauss and Union Station, on the multi-platinum soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou and can be seen playing banjo in the 2000 film."
✨ I reached out to Ron at the end of last year about him possibly playing banjo on a couple of songs on my upcoming album. To my surprise, he thanked me for asking him to play and told me his schedule was pretty busy, but he'd be able to do it.
I'm still in shock!! He has been one of my musical heroes way before I ever picked up my first instrument and I can’t thank him enough for being a part of my project.✨
