Krauss + Union Station play Telluride
This 2010 performance marks Alison Krauss & Union Station's 12th appearance at Telluride Bluegrass, beginning with their festival debut in 1989. Douglas's will mark his 26th year on the Telluride stage.
Union Station vocalist Dan Tyminski said, "I have spent a lifetime going to festivals and can easily say that no other has the splendor of Telluride."

The line-up for the festival also includes Sam Bush Band, Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain & Edgar Meyer, Yonder Mountain String Band, Del McCoury Band, Hot Rize, Telluride House Band featuring Sam, Bela, Jerry, Edgar, Bryan & Stuart, Leftover Salmon, Tim O'Brien Band, Jerry Douglas, Josh Ritter Band, Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile, Peter Rowan, Carolina Chocolate Drops, John Cowan Band, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Imelda May, Cadillac Sky, Mumford & Sons, The Drepung Monks, Sarah Jarosz and The Hillbenders.
