For nearly four decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated acts in bluegrass and roots music. Known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are putting the finishing touches on a new album to be released in 2025 — their first album since the 2011 masterpiece “Paper Airplane,” a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award-winning LP that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass and Folk Album charts. Over the years, Alison Krauss & Union Station have brought their phenomenal live show to sold-out performances at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, Radio City Music Hall and London’s Royal Festival Hall, in addition to supporting Paul Simon in Hyde Park for his 2012 “Graceland” reunion. They now gear up for their first tour together since 2015.
The players — Alison Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals), and welcoming highly acclaimed and celebrated tenor vocalist Russell Moore (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal) as the newest member — are five distinct personalities, each of whom enjoys a flourishing solo career. But when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus.
Opening the evening is Willie Watson, a founding member of the Old Crow Medicine Show and a celebrated solo artist in his own right. Known for his authentic renditions of American folk classics and his heartfelt original songs, Watson's Watson’s distinctive voice and skilled musicianship promise a compelling start to the evening. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
