Basin Street Records’ recording artist, Kermit Ruffins, performed at the Congressional picnic at the White House in front of about 1500 people on Tuesday, June 19th. Kermit and his band were greeted by President Bush and the First Lady. Tony Snow’s band, Beats Workin’, also performed.

Mister Mark, you’re doing great things for Kermit & Irvin! Wow, it makes me feel great to know that the music we all love so much is being honored in this way.
