CRITIC’S PICK: Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas

Sat., May 9
Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas
Theo Lawrence, Synovus Band Amphitheater at Chastain Park

Bluegrass fiddler/singer/songwriter Krauss reached new heights of popularity through two albums and extensive tours with Robert Plant. So much so that she put her own career on hold. That ended last year with Arcadia, the first release under her and her longtime band’s name since 2011(another, recorded as a solo project, came out in 2017). She now tours that album with her veteran group, in a reunion that even without dobro master Jerry Douglas along to sweeten the pot and share the billing, would sell out quickly. Her high lonesome voice can easily fill the larger outdoor amphitheater and Union Station is one of the finest, most talented bluegrass outfits ever assembled. That makes this required for all string band fans, of which Atlanta has plenty. Better get tickets early. — Hal Horowitz
