Alison Krauss & Union Station are set to release their new album, “Arcadia,” marking their first studio album in 14 years, since the acclaimed release of “Paper Airplane” in 2011. Scheduled to drop on March 28, 2025, the album is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike. This collective, renowned for their bluegrass roots and rich, melodic tunes, promises to once again deliver a sound that is both timeless and evocative. “Arcadia” promises to be more than just a trip down memory lane; it is poised as a vibrant continuation of the band's journey. The lead single, “Looks Like The End Of The Road,” penned by Jeremy Lister, sets the tone with its reflective lyrics and lively energy, epitomizing the album's essence.

With new member Russell Moore bringing his talents on co-lead vocals, guitar, and mandolin, the album introduces fresh dynamics while retaining the group's trademark harmonies. This release showcases collaboration with esteemed songwriters like Robert Lee Castleman, Viktor Krauss, Bob Lucas, JD McPherson, and Sarah Siskind, forming a tapestry of individual stories woven into a collective narrative. Alison Krauss describes the music as an homage to stories of yesteryear, encapsulating themes of bravery, valor, loyalty, and dreams conveyed through the lens of past generations.

The release of “Arcadia” correlates with an expansive North American tour, which kicks off in Louisville, KY, and spans into September. This tour marks their first in a decade, reflecting the band's enthusiasm to reconnect with fans nationwide. The tour will feature beloved songs from “Arcadia” alongside classic hits, providing a holistic experience of the band's musical journey. The addition of Jerry Douglas, a Bluegrass Hall of Fame inductee, complements the lineup, enhancing the live performances with his renowned dobro and lap steel guitar expertise.

This new chapter in Alison Krauss & Union Station's illustrious career promises to resonate deeply with their established fan base while attracting new listeners. By revisiting the signature sound that catapulted them to stardom and integrating fresh elements, “Arcadia” presents a compelling soundscape. It's an album crafted with detail, passion, and an adherence to the storytelling roots of bluegrass.
