Krauss, Nelson announce joint tour

The 35-city tour will kick off May 1 in Murray, Ky. and run through July 18 in Toledo, Ohio. Opening acts include Kacey Musgraves, The Devil Makes Three, Jason Isbell and The Wild Feathers.

The tour will mark the first time that Nelson and Krauss have shared the stage together.

In 2013, Nelson's albums included April's "Let's Face The Music And Dance," an album of deep pop country repertoire classics performed with transformative patented ease by Nelson and Family, his long-time touring and recording ensemble; and October's "To All The Girls...," which features 18 duets with music's top female singers including Dolly Parton, Mavis Staples, Sheryl Crow, Loretta Lynn, Wynonna Judd, Rosanne Cash, Alison Krauss, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones and Shelby Lynne.

Since signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14, Krauss has sold more than 12 million albums and won 27 Grammy Awards, the most for any female and the second most of any recording artist in Grammy history. Union Station is Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Dan Tyminski (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal), Ron Block (banjo, guitar) and Barry Bales (bass, vocals), with Krauss on lead vocal and fiddle.
