Krauss and Moore Comment About the Upcoming Tour
Krauss and Moore issued statements about the upcoming tour with Union Station, and the group’s new recording project.
“I’m so grateful to get to make music again with my comrades of 40 years,” Alison said. “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.”
Moore commented, “To say I’m excited about recording and touring with Alison Krauss & Union Station would be a huge understatement. After 40 years of playing music full-time and leading my own group for 34 years, this opportunity is among the few things at the top of the list that my music career has offered me.”
He added, “My hopes and desires are to fill this spot in [Alison Krauss & Union Station] with the same professionalism, precision, and thoughtfulness as other members who have held this position before me, and I’m looking forward to the ‘ride’!”
