The Momentary

Twenty-seven-time GRAMMY® winner Alison Krauss & her band Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas bring the Arcadia 2025 Tour to The Baycare Sound with special guest Willie Watson! Alison Krauss announced that legendary vocalist and guitarist Russell Moore has joined the ranks of Union Station for their first tour together in a decade. 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. 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,” says Alison 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.” Fans can expect to hear new music from AKUS for the first time since the band’s 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane, an album hailed as “shining, dramatic, and beautiful” by NPR Music, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts. For nearly four decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated groups in American music. They 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 that transcends the boundaries of roots music, country, rock & roll, and pop.
