Twenty-seven time Grammy winner Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas will bring its “Paper Airplane Tour 2012″ to the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque on Wednesday, June 20.
Alison Krauss & Union Station will perform in Albuquerque on June 20.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 14 at www.holdmyticket.com or in person at 11 a.m. at the Hold My Ticket Box office, 112 Second SW.
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 Douglas (Dobro and harmony vocals) are continuing their tour in 2012 after a successful run of critically-acclaimed performances in 2011.
The group is touring in support of “Paper Airplane,” which was released in 2011 and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart.
“Paper Airplane” marks Krauss’ 14th album and the band’s follow-up to 2004′s triple Grammy winning “Lonely Runs Both Ways.”
It is Krauss’ first release since her 2007 internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum collaboration with Robert Plant, “Raising Sand,” which won six Grammys.
Part of Alison Krauss’ incontestable talent is how effortlessly she bridges the gap between roots music and country, rock and pop. A highly sought-after collaborator, Krauss has worked with some of the biggest names in popular music, including James Taylor, Phish, Dolly Parton, Yo Yo Ma & Bonnie Raitt. Since signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14 in 1985, Krauss has sold in excess of 12 million albums and garnered 27 Grammys — the most for any female and the third most of any recording artist in Grammy history.Â
