People were invited to perform at the White House as early as the 1790s. Few performers can say they were invited to actually sing in the White House. At such a young age, David Archuleta joins a host of impressive names throughout history who have had that honor. Congrats David. RK 🙂
Here are some early performers:
Hutchinson Family Singers circa 1849
Baker Family Singers circa 1849

Well, this is interesting! Thanks for posting. David is certainly among a select group of performers. I hope he’ll have time to write a blog and let us all know how he felt singing in the East Room. I have a feeling he will be invited back again and again.
