Krauss + Union Station announced first tour in 10 years

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 – Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas will embark on their first tour together in a decade next year. The Arcadia 2025 Tour total 73 dates across the United States and Canada in 2025. They are also set to release new music next year.

Krauss has also announced that lvocalist and guitarist Russell Moore has joined Union Station. Best known as the frontman for chart-topping group IIIrd Tyme Out, Moore is the most awarded male vocalist in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), with six total wins, and has guided his group to more than 50 industry honors including seven IBMA Vocal Group of the Year titles. He joins longtime Union Station members Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals) and newly inducted Bluegrass Hall of Fame member Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals).
"I'm so grateful to get to make music again with my comrades of 40 years," said Krauss. "They've always accomplished incredible work individually and have been constantly traveling because of it. We're very inspired to experience this new exciting chapter in the band's history."
"To say I'm excited about recording and touring with Alison Krauss & Union Station would be a huge understatement," said Moore. "After 40 years of playing music full-time and leading my own group for 34 years, this opportunity is among the few things at the top of the list that my music career has offered me. My hopes and desires are to fill this spot in AKUS with the same professionalism, precision, and thoughtfulness as other members who have held this position before me, and I'm looking forward to the ride."
The tour, which features special guest Willie Watson, kicks off on April 17 in Louisville, Ky. and includes Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison, Col., the Greek Theatre (Los Angeles) and the Beacon Theatre (New York City). Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday with presales available from Wednesday at 10 a.m. local through Thursday at 10 p.m. local.

CD review - Hogan's House of Music Ron Block's "Hogan's House of Music" works on several levels. The release is a lively and admiring tribute to traditional and bluegrass sounds that made him the player that he is today. And, the work could be included in an aural time capsule to demonstrate the state of play in the bluegrass establishment, circa 2015 "Hogan's House of Music" gets its name from a record shop in Los Angeles County, California, which Block's father ran for three decades and ...
CD review - Walking Song For more than 20 years, the shorthand description of Ron Block has been "Alison Krauss' banjo player", but as his stage and recorded work has amply demonstrated over the years, he's also plays a mean guitar. His new solo release, "Walking Song," amply demonstrates that on cuts like Ivy, where he overdubs himself to striking effect. And in fact, Block performs all the guitar parts in addition to banjo on a 14-track excursion that covers a lot of musical ground and ...
CD review - Traveler The resophonic guitar is certainly not exclusive to bluegrass - it's the least used of the six common bluegrass instruments - but to many people it's a Dobro© and it elicits a bluegrass connection. Mention Jerry Douglas' name and many who recognize him think of the multitude of great bluegrass associations he's had through the years, including many years with Union Station.
