Willie Nelson Co-Headlining With Alison Krauss & Union Station

The trek marks the first time the two acts have shared the stage together. Krauss will be joined by Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas. And of course Nelson is hitting the road with his long-time touring and recording group, the Family.  

The excursion will feature support on select dates from The Devil Makes Three, Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell and The Wild Feathers.

Nelson was busy last year thanks to the release of two albums. In addition to To All The Girls …, he put out Let’s Face the Music and Dance, which features Nelson and Family’s take on pop, jazz, rock and country standards. To All The Girls … is a collection of duets with female singers including Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, Wynonna Judd, Carrie Underwood, Norah Jones and more.

Alison Krauss and Union Station’s most recent LP is 2011’s Paper Airplane. The album is Krauss’ 14th and her first release with Union Station since Lonely Runs Both Ways in 2004.
