Alison Krauss & Union Station bring their PAPER AIRPLANE 2011 Tour to South Florida!

Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas are currently criss-crossing North America this summer on a nationwide tour that will eventually take them to over 50 cities.

It has been several years since Alison Krauss along with Union Station band members Dan Tyminski (guitar, mandolin and lead vocals), Barry Bales (bass and harmony vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar and harmony vocals), and Jerry Douglas (Dobro and harmony vocals) toured together. Their last go around saw raves from critics who witnessed
“Krauss and Union Station induce awe with their musical virtuosity…pangs of heartache with their ballads of disillusionment and, most significantly, the giddiness that results from hearing a familiar tune played well.” (Chicago Sun Times).

On April 12th, 2011 Rounder Records released the eagerly anticipated Alison Krauss & Union Station album, “Paper Airplane”. A truly breathtaking collection of 11 exquisite songs, “Paper Airplane” is Krauss’ 14th album and the band’s follow-up to 2004’s triple Grammy® winning “Lonely Runs Both Ways”. Part of Alison Krauss’ incontestable talent is how effortlessly she bridges the gap between roots music and country, rock and pop.

Don’t miss this opportunity to catch the stunning live performances of Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas.

Alison Krauss & Union Station will be at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday August 20, 2011.
