Alison Krauss & Union Station
Grammy Award-winning fiddler and country-crossover icon Alison Krauss returns to Wolf Trap’s Filene Center for two nights with her longtime band Union Station, featuring the legendary dobro player Jerry Douglas. The evening blends timeless bluegrass and roots music, drawing from Krauss’s catalog of hits like “Whiskey Lullaby” and “When You Say Nothing At All,” as well as selections from the 2025 album *Arcadia*, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s bluegrass chart. Opening the show is French-born, Austin-based singer-songwriter Theo Lawrence, whose classic country sound includes singles such as “California Poppy” and “Chérie.”
