For nearly 4 decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated acts in bluegrass and roots music. Krauss is a 27 time Grammy winner and was inducted into the 'Bluegrass Music Hall Of Fame' in 2021.
Known for an immaculately crafted, but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock'n'roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are making their long awaited return with "Arcadia", their st album since the 2011 masterpiece "Paper Airplane", a critically lauded, multiple Grammy award winning album that debuted at #1 on the Billboard country, bluegrass, and folk album charts.
This spring, they will embark on a 73 date tour of North America, their first since 2015. "Arcadia" was produced by Alison Krauss & Union Station with additional production by 10 time Grammy winning producer Gary Paczosa, who has worked extensively with the band.
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 5 distinct personalities, each of whom also enjoys a flourishing solo career. But when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus.
